How big is your tank?
No, I am not part of the Tang police squad, LOL, the size does mean a lot for specific species.
I have 6 in my 225 gal tank, one of which is a D. Sailfin tang.

Should be fine with Acanthurus species in terms of compatibility and tank size (perhaps a little smaller than is ideal for them, but a 150 is pretty good.) I'd avoid the Naso genus because of the sheer size they attain. You could also go with a Paracanthurus.

The problem you may come across is that Zebrasomas (and particularly both sailfin varieties) tend to be fairly territorial towards Tangs added after them.

K, I had a Gold Rim tang, LT tang, and Tomini tang in a 120g tank, so this is doable. I would first off, suggest, getting rid of the D. Sailfin tang as it will get way big quickly in that size tank and create issues. I have a 225a tank and my D. Sailfin may already be to big.
I would go with a select few Acanthurus tang. Maybe a Gold Rim, Brown tang, or a Powder Blue tang.
This is possible, you just need to be understanding that they fight over territory to graze, and thus, fight amongst themselves.
