[seeweed]

i currently have a 12o gallon tank with plenty of live rock, coral, anemones, 3 clowns, yellow tang, hippo tang, long nose hawk fish......CanI add an achilles tang?

no . you will lose him . this fish needs a big tank .our shop has this fish rated @ a 5 on a scale of 1-5

i must agree that with your current inhabitants the achilles would be to stressed out.
I have my achilles in a 125gal with 2 clowns, a royal gramma, and lwanmower blenny. AHe originally was in the same 125gal with a LN butterfly, yellow boxfish, and hippo tang. i had a major disease outbreak, lost the box and butterfly, returned the hippo and kept the achilles. I've had the achilles for 2-3years now.

Thats rather ironic that the weakest fish survives while the tougher ones die. Once again proving that nothing is for certain in this hobby.
