Second dwarf angel

I would like to add a second dwarf angel to my reef. I currently have a coral beauty. The tank is 150g, what other angel would work well? And what is the best way to introduce it since the coral beauty is already there?
 
I personally have had excellent luck over the years with coral beauties and flames. Their body shapes are very different. Mine are model citizens

My 65 has a flame and multicolored with a coral beauty.

I have found that an acclimation box goes a long way towards letting them get used to each other.
When I moved the flame to the 65, I left it in the box for a week before I released it (( had been in my 75 )), there was some minor chasing the first day it was released. Afterwards, the flame was the leader, with the coral beauty second in command and the multicolored 3rd.
 
I got a flame and a potters I added them at the same time after lights out. I have no problems with them fighting. I always add fish after lights out when all my other fish are in there spots for the night.
 
You tank is plenty big for two Centropyge angels. Add a pair if you can. Watching the relationship between a male and female is very entertaining. You could probably introduce any dwarf angel, with an isolation box, but I would caution against Potter's and Goldens due to their similar color and patterns and with them being much more reclusive and fragile then others.

The white in a multicolor really stands out against a colorful reef... ;)
 
used an acclimation box to add a flame pair to an established coral beauty...never a problem
