Flame angel
kole tang

You could maybe get away with the yellow tang or the shoulder tang, but it'd most likely be aggressive due to lack of space

Out of your list, I would only put in the Flame angel.

With it being a 3 foot long tank, the tangs are just going to get too big. Trust me, I tried it before in my 58 (( same foot print, just not as tall )) many many years ago, and ended up with a ticked off tang that paced around all the time.

Hey Todd- Did you ever try a Kole Tang? I understand they are more docile and stay smaller. Thanks

No, it was a yellow. And after watching it I decided that I wouldn't put any tang in that tank.

A four footer, IMO, would be fine for a Kole, but not a 3 footer. That extra foot makes a big difference.
