mini monsters?

You should check out jawfish. There're not mean-looking but they do look cool.

Antennaridae or scorpenidae would be your best bets. The dwarf scorpion fish (lions ect) might work and are somewhat ambush predators. The angler/frogfish however I think would be best. They rarely swim, preferring to walk around on their "legs" and dont require much space. Just be ready to blow a decent chunk of change on an awesome looking one. All of the above and mantis shrimps can be purchased from Wisconsin's very own... www.liveaquaria.com

Mandrins are a bad idea with everything there, they are to timid to be with those agressive fish, that and how would u get enough pods for that many mandrins/blennies in this tank? And personaly... I think thats waaaay over stocked, but thats just my opinion.

I think he was saying one of those fish not all together

Mandarins are a bad idea in general...and they are definitely not predators. Collection methods of mandarins are damaging and even the ORA ones now Im hearing starve to death in captivity. Be prepared to buy LOTS of awesome LR and let it sit for a year or two before adding ONE mandarin to a 125g...or have some awesome refugium action going on.

ORA starving to death? Thats because the morons who keep them don't know hot to feed them, all you need to do is culture pods in abundance and you could put one in a 10gal. That said most people don't have the time or knowledge to culture pods...
