    Well both tangs and the foxface will get to large and active. Instead get a small fairy or a flasher wrasse:)

    I personally wouldnt put a tang in a 55. Also the fox face needs a bigger tank then that. Any other options?

    I wouldn't either, in the short term you would be fine, but long term they would get too large and the tank would become very crowded which would put a huge burden on your bio and mechanical filtration.
