I recently got a whole tank shutdown from a fellow reefer which included the livestock. The tank was 8ft long 300 gallon and had numerous tangs. I plan to upgrade my current set up to this new to me 300 gallon once I get the plumbing/sump figured out. For now, I have the livestock from that tank in a 300 gallon stock tank with the live rock. Wondering if I add everything to the new tank at the same time, could these fish, mainly the tangs, actually get along in the new set up? I have several tangs in my current set up as well, so don't know if it will work out. I will be combining live rock from my current tank, and the tank shutdown thats currently in the holding tank, to the 300 gallon so there will be plenty of hiding spaces.


Current tank stock list:
Yellow tang
Sailfin tang
Kole tang
Large Regal tang
Pair of regular clowns
Royal gramma
Coral beauty angelfish
Starry blenny
Anthia
Cave goby
Yellow watchman goby


Newly acquired livestock from tank shutdown:

Designer clowns - one black, on orange
Flame angelfish
Black sailfin blenny
Small Yellow watchman goby

You should be ok as long as you have a lot of hiding places. I would also suggest adding everything at the same time with lights out. If you see any aggressive behavior you can try using a mirror to offset the aggression. But I would do that as a last resort.
