I would like a couple more fish and was wondering if adding a spotted yellow eye kole tang, pintail wrasse, and carpenter wrasse would be too much. My tank is 5 months old and has lettuce agae growing in tufts with a little GHA. Have gracilaria thriving in the sump. I want the tang, but understand they can be Ich magnets and more territorial. Any other suggestions w9uld be great. Even thought of more Flasher wrasses instread.

Current stock:
1x Ocellaris clown 3 in
1x bicolor blenny 4 in
1x YWG 2 in
1x Springeri Damsel 2 in
1x Talbots Damsel 2 in


Attached are pics on my scape. Please let me know your thoughts.

Forgot to mention these pics are 2 months old. Just to show my scape.
 
Took more recent photos of scape for reference. Idk if it matters re stocking list except for hiding spots. The first three are the front view and the next three are the back. Dont mind the glass algae.

Those wrasses and that specific tang should go okay with that stocklist. Ideally, I would have added the wrasses early on, but those damsels are the wimpiest damsels.

If possible, I would fatten up the wrasses before adding in a QT. That would make sure they are eating your food well. Then an acclimation box wouldn't be a bad idea.
