Will it get along with an established Moorish Idol, Blueline Angel, and Black Hawaiian Trigger in an 180 gallon?

Depends on the tang. I had a small one that ate like a pig, grew fast and starting being a bully. Others have had sailfins that were of better disposition. I recommend having as much flow as you can handle as it cuts down on fish aggression in general

My sailfin gets a long great with all the fish in my tank, even with three other tangs.

Sounds good. I haven't used my w40 yet. The blueline is being a punk even though it's smaller. Will replace the current Koralia with wp40 tomorrow.

Vlamingi, scopas, naso and the sailfin.
The sailfin and scopas were added first then the naso and about two months ago I added the vlamingi.

Most likely yes ....nothing is for sure. They can be punks but most of the time only when it has been in the sys for a while.

I fear for that moorish idol

Ime tangs get along for a few years, then one goes psycho & becomes an axe murderer

I have a huge one with a fox face, heniochus and things like that. No serious issues, but of course it depends on the individual as always.
