Yes, as long as the tank is big enough.

I have a coral beauty and yellow tang together now. Yellow tang was the second of the two in the tank. CB went after him when the lights went off for about 20 minutes and now I don't think they even notice each other. The both swim all over the tank and don't even get a second look from each other, even when I put a seaweed sheet in.

Your joking, right?
NO!! You cannot place a Tang that can reach up to 10" in a 24 gallon tank! I would also not place the Coral Beauty in there

The Marroon will become VERY aggresive, leave him there alone!

yeah they will get along. and yes marrons will get very aggressive in a confined place.

they all have been together in a 20 gallon for about 1 yr now and it seems like the marron and the CB are always towards eachother and with everyone else....

i have a CB and YT in a 3x2x18" reef tank and both are fine. CB=3" and YT=3.25" and both have been in the tank for over 2 years. Add the YT last.

Won't be fine when that Yellow Tang gets bigger..He needs more room as he can grow to 10"..Well, your Tang will probably NOT reach 10" as it will become VERY stressed and aggressive from lack of room and will probably die when it reaches 5"..What a life, to die prematurely from stress
