Butterfly fish....give me some input please

[chwcdw]

I am considering removing a Sailfin tang from my tank and would like to maybe replace it with either a Pearlscale or Pakistani Butterfly.

I currently have a 90 gallon semi-reef/fowlr tank with the following fish.

1-Coral Beauty
1-Pinstripe Wrasse
2-False Percula Clowns
1-Bangaii Cardinal
1-Pajama Cardinal
4-Green Chromis
and of course the Sailfin that will be leaving.

I am also considering parting with both cardinals as well.

I know they both will most likley nip at my corals, but would they interact well with the rest of the fish?

There shouldn't be compatability issues with the rest of your stock. IME, the pearlscale is hardier than the Pak. Your angel might be a bit put off and show some intolerance at first so watch this. Neither bf is reef safe but if you're willing to take the risk..good luck.
