They are a more peaceful tang, but each fish has it's own personality. I personally had a kole that was a holy terror to wrasses and had to be removed.
Need help deciding on whether or not a fish is right for your tank? Post here and we'll help!

50G w/ Pair of bonded clowns and Midas Blenny. Want to get a Mandarin as next fish (have pods). Can I also get a 6 Line and Court Jester Goby or will they out compete for pods?

The sixline will compete for pods. The court jester eats other microorganisms.

Maybe a stigmatura blenny or an azure damsel.

Your current setup isn't ideal for that at this time.

Yes, that should work.

Each damsel stakes out and defends a territory, as does a gramma, as do the clowns. A 20g doesn't afford the space for that many territories.
Hi! I want to start up a small saltwater tank and need some help. I have an idea of what I want so this is it:
My tank is 20 gallons and I preferably want 1 flame angel and a "school" of like 3 blue green chromis. I have plenty of live rock and I also have a 15 gallon tank I would use as a sump filter. For the cleaning crew, I would like a cleaner shrimp but not any hermit crabs because I don't want to be worrying about them getting too big for their shells...what else should I have for the cleaning crew? Back to the fish, I've heard that the flame angel would probably be too big for this size tank but I really like the look of them so if the flame angel is not possible, then what other fish could I get to stand out and kind of be the "main attraction" if you know what I mean. I don't want clownfish by the way because I've already had some in the past and I'm looking for something new. I want corals too but don't know what to get... what are some beginner corals that look pretty and will work well with the fish in my tank?

I would recommend against a flame angel for a 20g. Perhaps a flame hawk or a royal gramma instead.
I would also shy away from a school of chromis in a 20g. Maybe try a springeri or azure damsel instead.
Clean up crew really varies from tank to tank, but nassarius snails are very effective scavengers.
Easy corals would include zoas, mushrooms, green star poltps, and leathers.

With that stock I would only do one. If the damsels were the only ones in the tank, maybe 4.
The lineatus gets a little large for a 60g. And resplendent anthias do better in a group.

There aren't too many options for schooling fish for a 20g. Chromis get too big and active for a 20g. Plus, a group will add significant bioload.
