Moving my 5" adult Blueface angel to his new home (180g), I have had him for a year in a smaller system. Seeking new tankmates any ideas?

Tangs and more tangs.
One of my favs are the Achilles and Sohal tang.

I raised him in a custom 90g, and have finally got him a bigger tank. His last tankmates were gobies, blennies, maroon clown,and 3 damsels with lots of inverts. Still after a year is VERY shy, are there any species that may bring him out from hidding more often?
Dang that is an awesome fish. Like a crosshatch trigger but in angel form. After a quick read up on them I don't think I would put tangs in a tank with him. They seem to be very peaceful angels and tangs are known to be on the "obnoxious" side, especially an achilles (although I think it is an awesome fish)... not really agressive, but always in your face. That behaviour may stress out the angel and I would definately not want to do that to such an awesome looking fish, as well as an expensive one.
My opinion after reading about them is the angel would probably do very well with some leopard wrasses in the tank. Also great colorful fish and very peaceful. There are 2 in my avatar. ;) So yes, I am a little biased towards them.
