You wont have a problem cause the fishes you have in the tank are all semi-aggresive and the dogface is semi-aggresive to so he wont pick on any of the them and theyre not gonna pick on him. So youre good.

IMO, a 55 is way too small for a dogface; and I won't even start the tang discussion. I also noted your profile says you have hermits and snails, almost any puffer will eat these. One of the small puffers would be ok, but would still probably lunch on your inverts.

no crabs or snails in that tank. tank wont grow algea and they were starving in there o took them out. dont get me started on a 55 is too small for yellow tang. its fine. ima try a hawaiian puffer instead
