Adding a Powder Blue

Get 1 i love mine its not the monster every 1 makes it out to be although it does put my purple in its place when the purple pipes up (purple always starts the trouble)

What would be the opinion on adding a Powder Blue to a 240 gallon with a resident Lieutenant tang? The Lieutenant tang has been with me for about 3-4 years and is just peaceful as can be but being another acanthurus tang wondering what anyone with experience mixing these 2 can add here?? There are other tangs in the tank: purple, yellow, vlamingi and a blue hippo.

The plan would be to add a powder blue, copperband butterfly and maybe a Naso all at the same time to help disperse any and all aggression amongst new the newbies. Would also be capable of using acclimation box and such. My thought process is that the PBT will be the Boss of the tang gang eventually. Thoughts?

A 240 G tank is a good size. Go for it. Also, QT, QT, QT....

Have added a powder blue to a tank with a resident dominant purple with good results. Always a gamble but with that size tank and by adding multiple fish at the same time, I would say that the odds are in your favor.

This would be easy to do, if you're willing to attach a mirror somewhere on the tank so no one dies...
