I'm stuck and need advice on fish choices, I'm looking to add my final fish to my 80g reef and was hoping to get a Coral Beauty Angelfish. But I have read that they tend to nip some corals and Inverts such as Clams? (I'd like to add a clam at some point in the future)
Also would it go with my other fish and inverts ok?

2x False Percs
1x Scarlet Hawkfish
1x Blue Cheeked Goby
1x Yellow Tang
4x Blue Chromis

1x Peppermint Shrimp
1x Cleaner Shrimp
1x BTA

Corals incude shrooms and button polyps (adding more slowly, starting easy)

2nd question I have is my Chromis have been bullying my clownfish (The smallest in particular) and I'm thinking of removing them and replacing them with a Comet (Betta). Again would this fish be ok with the fish etc above, inc Coral Beauty? I've read that they sometimes attack shrimps and small fish, how true is this?

I'm aware that these fish require an established tank, its been set-up for 12 months now and is very stable.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
