I have a Sohal in my 180G, and it is fine. Be careful though they are very aggressive, so you add it last. I see that is what you are planning to do.

Personally, I love my Sohal and everyone comments on how vibrant it is. It is 100% the show-piece fish of the tank. I have had mine since the beginning, and he may be about 8-9 inches in length.

I also found the aggressiveness of the Sohal (or at least mine) has diminished with age and growth. He may give chase to my foxface once in a while, also my Yellow Tang, but he doesn't cause any damage to fish or corals.

I have the following, and introduced them in order stated:
- Good Ole Dori
- Yellow Tang
- Sohal Tang
- Blonde Naso Tang (I thought for sure introducing this last, would cause grief with the Sohal, but he just ignored him, I just got lucky)

As stated the Sohal is my showpiece, but my Blonde Naso is a close second. Everyone comments on the orange lip-stick lips. HEHE

Good luck with the selections, have fun!

so i woke up today after putting up the mirror and the purple in last night. Every fish was up against the mirror trying to attack itself. My clowns stop bothering each other and starting going after their twin. Probably one of the funniest things Ive seen in awhile.

the yellow kept bothering the purple though, hopefully it stopped by the time i get home.

just make sure that you put the mirror at the side where the yellow hangs out

Keep it on your list but add it as your last tang which will be many months away.
If not you risk not being able to add another tang and other fish again.

these guys are hilarious with this mirrior up.
They are lined up just staring at each other. My LMB sits there, on the sand, looking at himself, so funny. My foxface is pulling out his fins or whatever they are making him self big and chasing himself up and down, lol.

Anyways the yellow is still going nuts on the purple but he doesnt seem to be pulling the "knife" out i dont think. hes just pushing him away because the purple keeps going into his hideout. Purple doesnt seem to bothered about it but does swim away. Ive seen him bolt away a couple times to the other side of the tank.

looks like the purple has some ich on him too, little white dots are starting to come out. My cleaner wrasse looks like hes pecking at him but not sure if hes pulling the white dots off. But the purple is eating like a champ, anything he sees that looks like food gets inhaled.

We wanna see your new fishes.
Also, you should take down the mirror as soon as you can, as it's causing stress. If you've got Ich in the tank it may get worse with stressed fish.
