I was hoping to add 2 tangs to my tank to finish my stocking. Tank is Red Sea Reefer 425 (~90 gal)

Current fish are two clowns, royal gamma, coral beauty, watchman goby, and melanarus wrasse.

Would I be able to add 2 bristle tooth variety tangs (kole/tomini/white tail) if I add them at the same time? Would it be a bad ideal to put a smaller purple in the tank as the second tang and rehome if needed?
 

i cant think

I’d personally stick to 1 tang only in this tank.

More than one is pushing the limits of territory and swimming space for the larger species like purples. The other thing with sticking to 1 tang is later down the line you can have more fish that grow slightly larger (Foxfaces, certain Angels, Butterflies ect).

Agree with all of the above and I won't say a word if you don't....
One only. That coral beauty will use EVERY part of that 90. Mine's a pain so make sure those that like to swim have enough space.
