Chevron tang owners input wanted


So there is this 6-7" Chevron tang that has been down at the LFS for several months. He came in in pretty bad shape but has completely turned around and looks great.

Im just curious if there is any reason I SHOULDNT add him.

225 gallon loaded predominantly SPS tank.

Current fish are:

Tomini tang
LMB
mandarin
6 line
percula
pink spotted watchman

??? Whadya think??

I would look into the compatibilty of the Ctenochaetus tangs together. The Scott Michaels book 500+ says they may not get along with close relatives

thats really my main concern. If he will get along with the 2.5" tomini that is in there currently

Well he is already adult...so I know what he looks like. He isnt the stunning orange color that you seee in the juveniles, but he is quite a striking fish just the same.
