I haven't bought a new fish in over 6 months, so I think it's time I add one to the family. I have all types of coral in the tank and several fish so the new fish one has to be well thought out.
My tank:
LPS, SPS, Leathers, Zoos, Mushrooms, Clam, and BTA.
4x Blue damsels
Yellow striped Maroon Clown
Longnose Hawk
Sohal Tang
Yellow Tang

What can I add? I was thinking a Chevron Tang or a Clown Tang, would either of them work or would the Sohal beat them up?

I like Chevrons but as you mentioned there is a chance for aggression from the other tang. Have you thought about a Bengaii cardinal or a fairy wrasse? Very colorful and they will not spark aggression in the tank.

I highly recommend against the clown tang. The chevroned tang should work out well, however. I recommend you give it plenty of open sand area to graze upon, since they tend to eat the detritus that settles there, as well as diatoms.
