I currently have a 5+" hippo and a 3.5" purple tang in a 280g tank. After I move my crosshatch triggers out of the tank they will be the only larger fish in the tank. Would a black tang be an ok addition or would there be too much aggression with the other tangs?

Does anyone know what is going on with my female crosshatch? I just noticed this today. She's eating great and acting fine.
