purple tang

I've always wanted a puple tang for the tank, love their colors, but knew they were so aggressive, but I thought if I intrduced him to the tank now, he would be the last one in the tank. I was just worried about these three fish with him:

Blue hippo tang
Sailfin tang
Coral Beauty

any ideas? LMK, thanks
 
Probably too many tangs for a 100 gallon. I have a 120 with only blue tang. I would like another tang but I know they'd fight.

i have a blue with a yellow and they are good, dont know if a yellow is as aggressive as a purple but he is pretty rough to newbies some times
 
I think the coral beauty will be okay bc mine was pretty tough when I added the hippo tang, she attacked the hippo for her territory. My hippo came through the bombardment pretty good considering my yellow tang was also on his tail for a few days. Within a few days they were all good and get along fine now. My YT is still the bully of the reef hotel. He's also the largest at 4". Size does make a difference. :)

Good luck with your choice, Carl just got a new purple tang (very Pretty), maybe he will chime in with his experience.

Good Luck,
Gail
