Overall friendly keepers?Left - tomini tang (one of the smallest of tangs) and coral beauty angel which is a dwarf angel
How big is your tank?Overall friendly keepers?
We’ve got a 75 gallon thankfully!How big is your tank?
A coral beauty should be in at least a 40B, but a 4 foot tank would be even better. They are pretty variable in aggression. I had to rehome one for being too aggressive, but many others have positive experiences.
The tang should be in at least a 75 as they need a lot of room to swim despite their size. I haven’t had one, but to my knowledge they are on the more mellow end of tangs.
yes. The coral beauty gets up to 3" and can safely be in a 20h or better yet 32g bio cube or similar but I caution having them around soft coral. The Tomini stays small and a great tang to haveOverall friendly keepers?
Hopefully nicer than one of our clownfish that we had to also rehome lolHow big is your tank?

I do have 3 zoa frags should I be concerned? Is there anything I can do to try to prevent it from nipping at them? I’m happy to hear that about the tang. I about had a heart attack when he said the word tang lolyes.

I’m well aware hence me asking for help. As listed in my OP he was sent in to get coral food, not fish. I was not with him nor had any idea he purchased these fish until he got home. I wasn’t happy either, but doing what I can do to be responsible which is asking for help and advice with a situation I did not create myself. Thanks for the input.You should probably have a conversation with your boyfriend about how important it is to verify the care of an animal before buying it. And that doesn't mean just asking the LFS- look the animal up and read about it on a site that's not trying to sell it to you. These could very well have been something that would be entirely unsuitable for the tank.
