Hi how are you doing. I just got my first yellow tang today. I was just wondering what other fish can i have with my yellow tang. I already have to of the nemo clown fish. I have quite a bit of live rock in my tank and i will be getting some corals in about 2 weeks. I know i can get at lease one angle. Just wondering what other fish i can get. I would appreciate all the help.
thanks
Josh

your tank size will help us a lot when trying to give fish recommendations

Be advised that many, if not most, angels aren't reef safe.

Well, all the large angels are not safe, most of the Dwarf Angels are just fine. Some of them can cause problems with LPS but each individual specimen is different.

The personality of the dwarf plays a factor, you're right about the individuality of the fish.

I know of instances where a dwarf angel would not bother any corals at all, but in other tanks that the same species of dwarf angel would be destructive.

my tank is 55g. I have a seaclone protein skimmer. I am not a big fan of it. I am also thinking of doing a hang on refugium or else i am going to buy a back pack cpr skimmer
