Should I add another Tang or Saragassum Trigger to my 90 gallon?

3 chromis
Tank raised gold stripe maroon clown
Tank raised false percula
Kole Tang
Copperband Butterfly

all fish are relatively small at the moment except for the 5 inch tang which might be done growing.

I don't really like the butterfly's chances of survival being that for the past two days when I feed frozen brine, on both occasions he only took one bite. Also the Tang doesn't like him much so I'm afraid he's getting stressed out. I've only had him about 4 days and his activity level seems to be gradually decreasing with each passing day. He did however eradicate my aiptasia.

I wanted to add another tang from a different genus but am afraid of fighting and ICH, etc. I was going to do either a blue hippo, yellow, or powder blue. What do you think?

Recently I've been thinking more and more about adding a Saragassum Trigger instead of a tang. Much hardier, no Ich worries, cool fish that is supposedly fairly gregarious. Of course my only concern is if it will eat my shrimp and the LPS and softies I plan to add under my PCs.

What do you suggest I do? Another Tang(which one?) or the Trigger?

Thanks
