Thoughts on clown tang in 180?

[Milad]

well its a new 180 and there is tons of live rock in it. im slowly removing liverock from display because i think there is to much live rock

currently there is only about 16 fish in the tank, mainly clowns, wrasses, gobies

probably about 16-20 pieces of coral
mainly zoas but couple sps.

i just like the fact that my chocolate mimic, foxface, and yellow all hang out together. they cruise the tank in a pack and eat algea all day. I want to add more to their crusin pack.

I do have automatic feeder and it feeds 4 times a day.

Yes it's fun to watch as they are all different species but my tangs do it too. Watch out if you are thinking of keeping zoas and tangs together, many species of tangs are known to munch on softies.

Currently have:
Chocolate mimic
Yellow

Want to buy:
Powder brown
Sailfin
Purple


thoughts and suggestions?

The purple will likely fight with the yellow (same body shape). On the plus side, since your yellow is already in the tank, and the purplbe is usually more aggressive, that could balance out. Probably better than adding a YT to a PT. However, be forewarned that adding tangs is a hit or miss scenario and be prepared to try to separate them if the fighting gets too bad.
