I am going to be setting up my 220g in the next week!!
I presently have:
2 perculas
1 coral beauty
1 sailfin
1 powder brown tang
6 green-blue chromis
various soft corals and a bubble and brain

What livestock can I add?

I'm already debating about removing the coral beauty due to one of my green brittles legs are shrinking!

Would any other small angels be less agressive towards inverts or coral?

Could I add any other tangs?

Any ideas would be great!
 
I would remove the green brittle star becuase they are known for catching and eating small fish. I would add a blenny, a few flasher wrasses, and a few lyretail anthias.

+1 to the star. Also +1 to adding a small "personality" fish and a few "flashy" (no pun intended) fish. Replace the chromis with anthias, or maybe a school of glass cardinals.

EDIT: Just reread the first post, and you could add another tang imo. I might take out the wrasse(s), but a tang could definitely be added.
 
I understand the brittle star ideas but they are a fan favorite at my house so removal would not go over well.

Flasher wrasses (can I do more than one?). I'm glad you mentioned those, I also have a large growth of tiny snails in my tank some are cone shaped and some are flatter (sorry can't get a picture), would the flashers take care of those?

If I were to add another tang what would you suggest?

The brittle star WILL eat your fish at night. They're nocturnal and your fish are diurnal. The green brittles are predators. Do the math.
