Tangs do not belong in 55g tanks. They get too large and are too active for a tank that size.
How about one of the dwarf angels? They are very colorful choices.

IMO too much of a bio load for a 55, by my calculations thats about 20 inches of fish, about double the recommended amount. Also i dont give a heck what people say, a tang will not be happy in a captured environment let alone a tank as small as a 55. They require a great deal of swimming room....JMHO
