I say it’s a catch 22Is it smart to leave Tangs to be the last fish added to a tank? I dont want to obviously have any new fish get beaten up if I add one too soon.
Yea my tomini swims easily around the tank picking at the rocks.Last. Use other algae grazers like Foxface, your current Lawnmower Blenny etc. if you want fish that pick at algae. Adding tangs first can add issues on tangs that are territorial to new additions.
Also if you want certain fish in your plan, they can be intimidated by presence of tangs first in tank. The frenzy in which tangs eat off a nori clip (or meaty foods in water) can make a less dominant fish like Copperband Butterfly, Sunburst Anthias etc. reluctant to get in the fray. They can end up not eating enough to sustain themselves.

Really appreciate the help!@90’s reefer that is great about your convict. Great looking tang & one of the more peaceful.
@LFCBVB you can submit your stocking plan & get suggestions for order or even fish you might like.
Keep in mind some LFS employees don’t have as much experience as others. Check on forum first. For instance don’t let someone tell you it will work to add a tang now if it is small or a certain species.
I was going to put link for your to ask reef squad but see @nereefpat is posting.
