What else can I add to the 55 gallon tank?

[wwasteve01]

Hey Guys,
I have a 55 gallon tank (48 inches). It's been up and running for 3 years now.
It is currently stocked with 1 Yellow tang (3 inches) and two clowns (2 inches each).
I am looking to add another fish, I'd really like a flame angel. However, I'm concered about the Yellow tang becoming very territorial after all this time. Although he gets along great with the two clowns (they were added to the tank at the same time).
The tank has about 20 lbs of live rock in it and some other lava rock.
I'll be adding a Big 20 Reef pack either way, as the tank only has one snail and one crab in it that hitchhiked from my live rock.
What do I add for a real colorful fish?

You'd be fine with a dwarf angel IMO.

Honestly i would remove the yellow tang but if u want to keep the tang it should be fine with a flame angel but careful if u have corals. Tangs are usually peacefull except with their own kind.

Personally I would get rid of the yellow tang..
and not go towards a dwarf angelfish if your going reef.
if you go for the angel, it’s a hit or miss with a reef. I would stay on the safe side and look for a more reef safe fish because if you spend a fortune on corals you don’t want to jeopardize them with a coral nipping fish.
Then again if you don’t wanna be on the safe side you could get a flame angel or some other dwarf (like a lemon peel) that’s completely fine with corals it’s just like I said, a hit or miss.
I think you should go for something like a small reef-safe wrasse you could try a Flasher Wrasse.
In my 55 I have x2 clowns, a sixline wrasse and a lawnmower blenny.

Having a tang in that small of a size tank will more than likly cause fighting with a new intro and the intro would use the same swimming space.
The tank has about 20 lbs of live rock in it and some other lava rock. I would suggest a maderian for color and it would get along, but you would want to look into getting more rock first even with the angel.
