    The male is about an inch and a half and the female is a little more than 2 inches.

    Well it looks like a tang is out. Are there any other cool open water fish that might do well in my tank?

    Not if your clowns are going to attack everything that you introduce. If you can take care of that problem, I would look into a wrasse myself.

    I truly feel the success to my tank and everyone getting along is due to my rock work. I have many different caves and tunnels going all the way threw. There are so many different "apartments" to pick from.

    Your clown sounds like a Damsel in distress! I would take her back to your LFS. She seems too aggressive for your size tank to ever be in harmony.
