Question to those with Large Tangs

[Aspect]

I am curious for those with large tangs (Sohal, Epaulette, Unicorn, Naso, etc) that are 10" or larger how they are kept in a reef tank. I have a 400 gallon 8' x 4' tank and have an interest in these large tangs but I feel like they would kill everything else once they become established.

Sohal would be a risk as they are nasty in nature but I have 30 tangs and shrimp as well as 14 other fish smaller in size and they bother nothing. Tangs will squabble amongst themselves but rarely cause damage.
