I posted before about which Tang I should get. Since both the Naso and Orange shoulder are peaceful fish, can I get away with buying them both or is that too much, not a good combo???
 
I have read that as long as they do not resemble each other they will be alright. Two that look the same will usually have territorial problems. You have a big tank and I do not know what an orange tang looks like but if they do not have the same coloration they should be fine I would think. People mix blues and yellows all the time with no problems.
 
I think in your tank it has a good chance of working. You could always return one if it doesn't. :wink:
 
In my opinion, that tank is not big enough for both of those fish that will get extremely large.
 
I LOVE the nasos! So peaceful and fun to watch. Great personality. I don't know anything about the orange shoulders. You may know this, but if you get a naso, the males will grow extensions on their rear fin that are very cool (on the tips) the females do not. Here is a pic of my female.
