Can I put this fish together?

[cnl83]

I currently have a 55 gallon tank. Torch Coral, couple different polyps, and bubble tip.
a Large yellow tang
a clown
3 damsels
two emerald crabs
turbo snail.

I tried to put a coral beauty in the tank, and my Tang beat it up without a break. I brought it back to LFS right away. Im thinking about taking the damsels out, and adding:

Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish
Blue Hippo Tang
Blonde Tang
Copperband Butterlfy
Engineering Goby

Will my yellow tang beat em all up?

yes it will. your tank is too small for any tangs, minimum recommended tank size for a yellow tang is 75-90g. Hippo and blonde (naso) tangs need even bigger tanks in the range of 180g.

and to point out i wouldnt dare put 3 tangs and 2 butterflyfish in a 55 gal regardless of what kinds they are, your asking for a death match there

That's way to much for a tank of this size...and as other say to you, the yellow tang will always beat up all new fish since 55gal is not enough room for him...Think about smaller fish like dwarf angel, goby, fairy or flasher wrasse, etc.
