Yellow tangs are good reef fish and small ones can keep in tanks as small as 30gal with large ones in tanks from 55-75+gals. Yellow tangs can be very aggressive, not only against other tangs, but other fish as well. They do a lot of fighting, so you need to be careful with what tankmates you place it with. Yellow tangs need regular feedings of food and good water quality. If not, they start to lose the bright color yellow.

Purple tangs are good reef fish and very hardy. Small ones can be kept in 30gal tanks while larger ones will do well in tanks from 55-75+gals. They usually get along with other fish, but probably will fight with yellow tangs. They need to get a good diet of greens.

An aggressive trigger that get more aggressive the larger it gets, can reach about 20" or so. Do well in a FO or Fowlr and very aggressive tank mates. Unlike most other triggers it needs very good water quality, low nitrates.

The quarter size ones that show up every year need to be feed a lot. If feed correctly they should grow from 1" to 4"-6" in a year.

The biggest issue you have is trying to mix two Zebrasomas in one tank. That's a recipe for a fight.

You are OK with three tangs, but IMO you should remove one of the Zebrasomas for a different genus.

Personally, I'd consider a clown trigger only in a very large FO tank... maybe 300g or so.

As far as the other fish, I see no issues other than if it's a reef tank, dwarf angels can be coral nippers (though I doubt you'd be considering a clown trigger in a reef tank).

BTW, in the beginning you said "clownfish". You posted info on a clown triggerfish. Not even CLOSE to the same. You'll get everbody confused if you call a clown trigger a clownfish.

EDIT: After rereading, you say this will be a reef tank. Be advised that the flame may nip coral, and the clown trigger will eat your CUC and any small fish you add later... they can be nasty.

After another look at the beginning of your original post, looks like you really do mean a clownfish (since you said 3" max size). Since clown triggers can reach 20", I think your words were right and the info posted was a mistake, is that correct?

Anyway, if that's the case, pick one different tang and I think you'll be fine (as long as you have adequate filtration/skimming... tangs produce a lot of waste).
