    A lot of it is going to depend on the size. How big is your Desjardinii?

    I'd be more worried about the clown tang in regards to the new addition over the sailfin.

    I've heard of them being able to live together. I will be attempting it myself next month or so. Between the two of them, the sailfin is the more docile one. As long as there is sufficient food and adequate hiding places, there shouldn't be conflict. The size of tank needs to be taken into consideration they both require lots of swimming room to co-exist. But since your sailfin has already established territory in your DT, I don't think there will be conflict.
