Need advice on fish

I have lost some livestock in the power outages from last week's storm. Have a 90 gallon with liverock, softies, anemones (they keep splitting). Survivors are one yellow tang, a pair of clowns, and an engineer goby. When I set up the tank (two years ago this fall), I added the tang last. I am starting to consider restocking options, but afraid I might have a problem. No way can I get that tang out of there. Is there anything that would be safe to add back at this point that would not be a likely target for the tang's aggression?
Would appreciate suggestions or solutions ( I know the rearrange the tank thing, but not sure that would be enough at this late date).
Also, have often considered trying a Heniochus diphreutes, but haven't because of the tang. Anybody personally had any success with them?
Thanks, Sue
 
My yellow tang is pretty agressive, but it has settled down within a week or so with everything I have added.
 
There are a lot of fish that you would be able to add without worrying about the tang. It is more likely to be aggressive toward similarly shaped fish than just any new fish. If it is a similar fish I would section it off a part of the tank on its own so that they could see each other but not touch. Good Luck.
