Not to be negative but clown tangs are not very easy to keep and they usually require very large tanks. I'm not saying to get rid of it but try and take extra care with it because I have known a few people who have kept them and every single one has died. You better also be prepared that the clown tang may start beating up on the yellow tang as clown tangs are known for being highly aggressive.
