Tang for an 80 gallon

I have a tomini, two spot and yellow eyed kole tang. The two spot lives in a 75 gallon tank and is fine. The tomini would be fine in it as well. The two spot is slightly larger than the tomini. I often see kole tangs recommended for smaller tanks but mine is twice the size of the other two. I would not put him in the smaller tank.
 
Hey everyone

I wanted to get opinions on a possible tang for my 80 gal. It’s 48x24x16. I appreciate everyone’s opinions. I plan on upgrading to at least a 150 in a year or two. Thanks!

potential stocking list:
1 or 2 tangs
1 foxface
2 wrasses
Diamond goby
Get one smaller tang like a tomini or kole, anything else and you’re being a bad marine husband.
 
Something like a Tomini Tang could be fine, just make sure it has a lot of swimming room(not too much live rock, not so much fish).

You can see the Tomini is a much smaller fish than the Yellow Eye Kole. He is older too.
So far the Kole is the same size as my Clown and Sailfin tangs.

Cool! You seem to have a very healthy foxface too btw. Pretty fish. :)
