Picture sure looks like a GSM clown.
In my tank my female GSM clown doesn't back down from anybody. When any of the tangs get close to the anemone she runs them off and there is no pushback from the tangs.

I've had pairs of maroons and tomatoes together with kole tang and other tangs and it was fine. The clowns don't really use a lot of real estate once they settle into a spot. The tangs roam all over but will just steer clear of the clown if she is aggressive. I've never had a clown chase a fish around the tank. They just chase them out of their territory. At least that has been my experience.

Slightly off topic:

The title said “joke tang” and the first thing my mind went to was maybe you meant a Clown Tang.

I cannot be the only one, right? :)
Initially I thought clown tang .
but joke only havibg 4 letters I thought kole . But generally a tang is great with anything besides others similar to itself .

How wide is the tank?
Sorry I’m asking however being from the UK I don’t remember the standard sizes for the 3 different 4’ tanks you guys have in America (We just say “400 Litre” not “350, 400, 450 litres” for a 4’ tank).

Standard 75 is 48"x18"x20" high. Same footprint as a 90, but not quite as tall.

What drives me nuts is the newer style tanks, especially if listed by liters including the sump.
