Going into a new tank, with strange fish is stressful too; whether as much as being in a 20 gal tank, I don't know. Any other thoughts on this?

I dunno, I added a copperband butterfly to my 75G, and he settled it pretty quick. I don't believe in QTing, everytime you have to catch the fish, I believe that adds more stress (plus ANOTHER move) than just adding them to the display in the first place.

I think with 225G of space, a tang could settle in fairly well.
