I am wanting to add some additional fish to my system. Current inhabitants are as follow:

Sohal Tang
Black Tang
Dejardini Tang
Coral Beauty
Mystery Wrasse
Several Anthias - Blue eye
Black/White Clown Pair
Copperband Butterfly

Here are the candidates for addition, some are going to be risky but I am okay with testing things out..

Blue Face Angel
Lamarcks Angel
Wantabei Angel
Pakistan Butterfly
Henichous Butterfly

If you have one of the candidates, please post your experience with them in your reef tank and what their personalities, temperment and health details are.

How big is your tank and how long have the tangs been there?

300G... tangs have been established for quite a long time.

Do you have corals in this tank? Zoas or lps?

Male watanabei is a bit more difficult to acclimate and more susceptible to diseases. It will also likely to change back to female if it doesn't have females around and if it's not one of the dominate fish. All others seem to be on the easier side but then again, butterflies are more delicate to begin with but your picks are the hardier ones. Are you going to qt them? It will be the best to qt them at the same time and put them into your DT at the same time to alleviate aggression from your tangs.

Yes it's a mixed reef along with two large squamosa clams 8" and 15" in size.

Blue face and Pakistani should be out then since they have been known to pick and eat those corals.

A couple of henichous would be cool to have.
