The problem you will run into will be the size of the tank and the size of the naso. They require a very large tank and you are looking at a large bioload. I would not reccomend it,unless you have a bigger tank then the one you have stated(55 gal). I have one in my 150 with clowns, yellow tangs, shrimp and mandrin, and they all get along, but they are in a much bigger tank.

yeah they are great fish, mine has only grown about 1/2" maybe in the last year, but over the long run they are too big for a 55 really. Thats the only bad thing I can think of, IMO they are very docile tangs.

Naso needs about 150 gal. or better.
Looks to me like you've got a pretty full tank already. I wouldn't add any more fish.
