Best tang for a 210g

Finally did our upgrade to the 210g and was told our Tomini and Atlantic should be fine together and after one night the Tomini literally bullied the Atlantic to death. I was able to pull the Atlantic out but he never recovered from the beating and I lost him the next day...
They were in separate tanks before the 210g so it was never an issue. My wife really wants another tang and we are looking for something that can get along with the Tomini or at least hold it ground as she likes that one also.
Any suggestions on a good tang that wont be too aggressive in the long run?
 
A chocolate mimic tang would be nice. I love mine, he holds his own, but isn't really a bully. A lot of tangs are kind of aggressive, some more then others. Weird, a tomini shouldn't be all that aggressive, the bristletooth tangs are the most peaceful, my kole doesn't bother a thing.
 
He is a perfect tank mate with all the others and is paired up with a super small 6 line we have in there. Comes right up to you at the tank He just went ballistic on the Atlantic who was also very passive and a hand feed one at that. Its a fish that will be truly missed....
He lived up to his name as a Flame Fin on that day
 
You could also pull the tomini out for a bit, and put in a new ABT, let him get established. It is hard mixing tangs at times. I have a few I am going to mix, smallest/shy first, bigger/aggressive last, and be ready to pull any out if need be. Goodluck.
 
Why not a convict or a powder brown. That atlantic will get huge and possibly mean. I'm not sure who but someone had one on here that as it got huge its teeth became pretty prenounced and it drew blood a few times.
