I had a pair of sebae clowns in my 55 reef who became way too aggresive, so they had to go. Well after a week I finally caught the last one and took it to the pet store. I wasn't going to buy anything but they had 5 nice chromis and a bangai cardinal I couldn't pass up. After I got those they gave me a yellow coris for my clowns (like I need another yellow coris, but I took him and put him in the 55 as well) and gave me a good deal on a Korilla 2. Now I am trying to come up with a bigger fish to put in. I was thinking about either a yellow or scopus tang, but worried about tank size. Is a 55 breeder too small for a tang? Should I go with a dwarf angel instead? I have some soft corals, a clam, and the fish that I just bought. The dwarf angels scare me as well because I read that they may nip at the clam mantles, anybody had problems with their dwarf angels? Thanks for the suggestions. P.S. I finally got my computer to upload pics of my 150!!

A 3 foot tank is WAY to small for a tang.I have had a Coral Beauty for 2 years now and it has never bothered my Crocea that has been in the tank for 18 months and 2 maxima's that have been in my tank for about 8 months.
 
I agree, too small for a tang. I keep a light bioload so to me your tank already looks a wee bit overstocked.

EDIT...I just noticed those pictures are from the 150. I was smacking myself for suggesting you get a shoal of the coris. Feeling better now. =) On the angels it is a hit or miss thing, some will nip them and some won't. I'd personally not risk a clam with one.
