fish compatibility question


I am looking to add a few smaller fish to my 75g reef. Currently, I have a 3" Yellow Tang (boss of the tank), a Flame Angel and a Royal Gramma. The tank is mostly LPS and leathers, Hawaiian Featherduster, a cleaner shrimp and two 3" clams. There is about 100 lbs of LR. and about 1 1/2" of Southdown on the bottom. The tank has been up and running for about 15 years and its population has been quite thin for some time.

I was thinking about adding the following:
1 Forktail Blenny
1 Yellow Watchman Goby w/ Pistol Shrimp friend
1 Chalk Basslet (Will this get along with the Royal Gramma?)

1 Torch coral to replace the one that died after 2 years with a possible small clownfish. I am hesitant about the clown. The tang beat the crap out of one I tried to add about 8 months ago.

Anyone have any thoughts?

You might run into problems with just about anything you add to your tank. I had a nice yellow tang(approx 3.5")that was the boss of the tank for only a year. I had to sell him back to the petstore he was trying to kill anything i added to the tank. I was able to add a wrasse to the tank with no problems while i had the yellow tang. The wrasse has died since then. Thats my 2 cents and experince with a yellow tang that was the boss of the tank.

I have already begun to think about ways to remove him. He will eat out of my hand so that is a good start.

I think that yellow tangs are probly one most agressive tangs there is besides the clown tang.I been luck so far my yellow doesnt show any signs of being meanie lol been in the tank for about 3 months now but hes a small guy tho. I think a yellow watchmen goby would be a good idea.
