Fish friend advice, please!

I have aquariums I rescued recently and want to combine the fish into a 220. In the 220, already are tank mates, a blue tang, a scopius tang, 6 clowns (I have no idea how they did that) and a harlequin tusk who is totally chill. In one of the other tanks are ancient and cranky damsels, a blue hippo tang and another scopius tang. In the 3rd tank is a yellow tang, another blue hippo, a watchman goby, a leopard wrasse and a neon dotyback.

I will be keeping another FOWLR tank for those I already know can't play nice with others... A bunch of chromisand shrimp that I don't think I should put in with the tusk... And another set of elderly and cranky clowns.

Of my list, Who CANNOT go together??
 
I'd say be wary of adding multiple tangs of the same species to the same system. You could try the mirror trick for a few weeks and see what happens. Plenty of hiding places would be the key to making this work.

Genius!

I've also noticed that the chocolate in each tank has latched on to another. In the big tank, it's the chocolate and the tusk. In the smaller tank, it's the chocolate and the hi hippo.. or even the chocolate and the chromis
