I have a 55gl reef tank with a green chromis, 2 yellowtail damsels, a clown fish, six line wrasse , and a pajama cardinal. All are healthy and happy. No sump just two canister filters.

I would like to get this coral beauty angel that I saw at the LFS. Do think its a good idea to get him?

Only two issues I see are that you are already decently stocked bio-load wise considering your filtration, and you have (4) aggressive fish already established (damsels, clown, & sixline) that may not enjoy the company of the new fish. Definitely use the acclimation box as already suggested. Keep in mind also that they are 50/50 shot as far as nipping at corals. In larger tanks, its usually not an issue. In smaller ones, they can cause bigger problems if you do get one that nips.
