Currently in my 240g I have a niger trigger, pinktail trigger, koran angel, yellow tang, and 2x Clarkiis. Im planning on moving the clarkiis to my reef and with the extra space was thinking of addinng ethier a dog face puffer or a hippo tang.

Was wondering which one might fair better with my current list as I'm really split on which fish to get. Also im worried the yellow tang might pick on the hippo tang. Any advice would be apreciated.
 
I had a 180g once fish only.......very aggressive...size matters.for instance I had 3 different pairs of clowns they didnt get along one bit with the others but the tank was big enough to keep some distance.....keep tangs in odd numbers...it always trial and error with tangs.....
 
Right now the Pink tail and koran are both about 4" niger and yellow tang are around 3" the Pinktail is the boss of the tank followed by the yellow tang. Niger and Koran both seems to just stay out of the way. If I drop a blood worm cube in whole the pink tail and tang will keep stealing it out of eachother mouths while the angel and niger just grab whats falling off.
 
I think you could easily add both....If you have an acrylic tank, I would be cautious about the Dogface as they are known to be hard on acrylic...Scratching it with their "beaks".
 
It's glass. I thought about adding both but I really don't want them to be cramped when they're all full grown. When looking at a full grown Koran and Niger at the LFS it seems like they will make my 240 look small with just those 2.
