As I understand it, recommendations about fish are general ideas with a lot of variation from one individual fish to another. For example Yellow Tangs are supposed to be a little aggressive and territorial, and not tolerate other similar fish (Purple Tangs, other Yellow Tangs, etc.) However there will be exceptions to every rule. I would use people's recommendations as a baseline to start with, recognizing that every fish is different. My YT is a bit aggressive toward my Hippo Tang and Copperband, but nothing extreme.
With FW fish (I used to breed Angels) I found a definite relation between temperature and aggression. By lowering the temperature 2 or 3 degrees, the aggression level went way down. Just an idea, might work, might not.
