what fish can I add, if any?

[tarvis]

Hello everyone, I just wanted some opinions/advice, I just took out every rock tonight to catch an evil fish brown eared tang or (Acanthurus nigricauda)
He was trouble for anything I tried to add, but I did catch him so now he is lingering in the sump for a few days while I try to figure out what to do with him. My question is what fish can I add to my tank, if any? With the follow fish already in there. 2 talbot damsels, 1 red honey damsel, 1 diamond watchmen goby, 1 black sailfin blenny, 1 leopard wrasse, 1 clown tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 passer wrasse, 1 bariene tang, 1 regal tang, and 1 Lieutenant Tang. These are in order from smallest to largest. The lieutenant tang being about 6 inches in length. The tank is a 300 gallon at 8 feet long plenty of hiding places. With leathers, mushrooms, and 1 elegance coral. Tank has been set up for about a year. Any suggestions? I was going to trade the brown eared for something was thinking about a queen angel but I really dont know much about angels in general ,I know I'm pushing it on the tangs, let me know what you think, thanks :spin2:

Well most likely by the time you add so,etching the clown will now be the boss of the tank. Have you considered any dwarf angels at all? Maybe add 2 of them at the same time? I would personally never own another damsel. The queen might take a liking to your corals, the elegance will be first to go depending on the fish itself. Most queens will pick or eat lps. If you didn't have the damsels I would suggest some fairy wrasses.

Get a puffer!

I actually hate the damsels but wife says they're cute so.... Are clown tangs really that dominant? He is 1/3 the size of the Lieutenant Tang and half the size of the other tangs. The not so lfs really pushed him over the sailfin tang. Would a puffer survive in my conditions? Kind of aggressive in my tank. The elegance coral is the only lps I have and surprised its living, been in there almost a year but from what I've read they only live about 3 months in captivity ( read this after I brought it home)
Thanks

I would pass on a puffer and yes a clown tang can be one of the most aggressive tangs out there. I know they have great coloring which is the a great attraction towards these fish but their attitude pushes that out the window.

Clown tangs are mean! I would recommend a nice dwarf angel as well

You may have an aussie elegance which is much hardier than the others

The clown tang has been staying in the corner all day, seems too passive he may not make it although he is eating well

 

[tarvis]

So a dwarf angel, not another large angel?

 

[Smnparish]

A large angel is more likely to pick at your corals...also more of a bioload to a tank with several large bioload fish already

 

[DustyReefer]

Dwarf angel would be nice, I don't think any of your corals would be in any real danger with most of the dwarf angels

Reef safe trigger like sargassum.

Blue throat I hear is reef safe also, but. That's what I thought about a little red mithrix crab, that is now in my sump after becoming huge and carrying off my gorgonia

Has anyone ever paired dwarf angels?
