We're ready to add our next fish, but we're not sure which one to add. It's down to the tang(not sure which one yet), or the coral beauty. Also, we plan on adding some soft coral...will the angel be less inclined to nip at them if it's added before or after the corals?

What are your other fish? Coral Beautys usually do well in a reef tank and add lots of color. You can also add any of the tangs that are common in the hobby (yellow, foxface, etc.) Good luck!

In regards to the angel and coral nipping, I would say that your chances of keeping the angel from nipping coral is to add the coral first and the angel later. The thinking here is that if you put the coral in after the angel, it's like you're enticing the angel by placing a treat in the tank.
