Adding Fish to an established "gang"

In my 92 gallon corner reef set up I currently have a false percula, smaller Scopas tang, six line wrasse and a dwarf rusty angel. These fish have been cohabitating for nearly 5 years.

I am planning a total re-aquascaping of my tank in the next few weeks.

What do you think of keeping current gang of fish in a holding tank for a couple of days after my re-aquascaping project, adding a new fish to the tank upon completion of the re-aquascaping?

The tang and the six line wrasse were aggressive to new fish introductions a couple of years ago (fish did not survive).

If you think an addition would be O.K., what fish would you suggest?

Thank you.
 
That is the best way to go about it. You might get away with a watchman goby, a black blenny, a rabbit [watch them: they bring ich] or the like. I wouldn't duplicate species on anybody except maybe your clown, but that may be way much drama for a 92 with all that going on. You might put a piece of pvc into your qt to provide a little shelter, a sense of place.
