What to do with this fish

[Larry Grenier]

I have inherited a Yellow Tail Damselfish Chromis xanthurus.  I am in the process of setting-up a 75 gallon reef and I'd like to put the one little guy in there.  Other fish are a pair of tomato clowns Amphiprion frenatus, a pajama cardinal Sphaeramia nematoptera, (soon to be a few) and I'd also like to add 1 tang in the near future.  I know that they're mean but I wonder if a 75 with hiding places would be OK.  He's currently in another small tank.  He will-not be destroyed if I decide not to put him in there.  Your opinions would be appreciated.

I have one that one my original fish in a 125.  Never picks on tangs, dwarf angles or clowns.  I don't think the yellow tails are as mean as the general blue damsel

I have one in my 75g that is my origional cycle fish from 8 years ago. It was a spawning pair until a rock crab got it a few years ago.

 

I also have a spawning pair in my 120. They really don't bother any other fish but they live in the same acro as my spawning citron gobies. Some people hate them and others don't.

 

I'm sure it will be fine in a 75g. I've read that tomato clowns are very aggressive.

They should all be fine together.  To be on the safe side add the damsel last after the others have their homes so he is the new fish on block.
