Looking to get an Orange Shoulder tang for my 180g and was wondering if any other tang could be added to the tank?

Thanks

my father in law had a orange shoulder with a bunch of other tangs i would say the orange is one of the more peaceful tangs not like the clown /sohal/ purple/ and yellow

I have my orange shoulder tang with a yellow tang and he used to share a tank with a bristletooth tang

I love the look of this fish but decided not to get one based on Bob Fenner's website which lists them as "a behavioral terror in the ranks of A. lineatus (clown tang)". He lists then as a "bad" Acanthurus because of this and a large adult size (14 inches). I find this odd because nearly everyone who actually keeps this fish says it is a peaceful species.

Mine is probably the most peaceful fish the tank. He doesn't care about the other fish and likes to interact with humans more.
I hand feed him.
He's such a beautiful fish, but they do grow fairly quickly.
