Does the size of fish matter

Is there any issues with getting a juvenile tang compared to a medium size? I'm looking at getting a 2" kole tang, but worried about my two ocellaris clowns possibly beating him up. My tank is 5 x 2 x 1. I have a Midas and two clowns.
Thoughts?
 
I don't think you will have an issue. I have a 3" Kole tang in my 120 and it is the one fish my clowns completely ignore; it can even swim right up to their clutch of eggs without any aggression, something they will allow no other fish in the tank to do.

You mean my girlfriend lied to me about my watchman goby being her favorite fish? I do always see her eyes linger on that foot long hippo tang at the store. :sad1:

To actually answer your question somewhat, I doubt the clowns will hassle the tang much. They usually keep to themselves unless someone comes into their territory.
