--most of the dwarf angels, banggai cardinals
regal tang -yellow tang- naso tang -powder blue if you want to take a gamble on the whitespot should be ok as long as you have got a uv steriliser on your system , foxface with caution he may or may not have a go at your corals

should be fine in there , slash ,on all the articles I have read it says suitable for a tank, some say 75 gallons ranging to 150 gallons up, duncans tank without the coral is 112 gallons unless I have worked it out wrong lol.( mind you it does state that they can grow up to 18 inches but I have never seen one anywhere near that and the biggest any of my mates have managed is nine.

Yeah I guess so. I have read about them having to have a minimum 75g too.
Just I remembered reading some articles on another forum and some have achieved quite a size. Guy had one in a 7x2x2 but felt it had out grown it so he sold it to someone with a 13ft'er. This was at 11". He did have it for years and years though. Big fishy!
