You can certainly keep all the specimens that you listed but again, you just need to play around with them a bit. Don't put Coral A too close to Coral B because A will sting B will sting C will sting F, etc.. etc.. A "mixed reef" is really an epic battle ground where chemical warfare is waged among the different corals and you as the hobbyist have to play the peace broker :-)
For what its worth, aside from the galaxy coral, I have all of the other corals that you listed in my 150g and they are doing fine :-)

Thanks Kien, I still wanna see your tank and entire setup. We're still building different components of our tank and Id love to see a well established one with a controller on it etc...
So you have a duncan coral then? Any chance you'd frag it?
