Acanthurus

Convict (Acanthurus triostegus), 10"
Whitecheek Tang (Acanthurus nigricans), 8"

Both are from the same genus as you said AM3680, so they would compete for the same food. The White Cheek is more aggressive than the Convict, but may be more hardy. The Convict being less aggressive gives you more options for a homoginous reef fish community. I loved the persomaliy of my Convict!
