So got a 210 gallon and looking to have both a cow fish and a blue spotted ray along with potentially some large Angel fish and tang. Would the cow fish be compatible with these specified? Thanks
Long horn cow fish with blue spotted ray…thoughts?

The angels will most likely kill your sting ray or harass it to the the point it stresses out and starves. Also of note the blue spot is one of the more difficult sting rays to keep under the most ideal conditions. There are lots of threads about this subject please don’t just take my word for it. I’m just trying to save you lots of grief down the road.
Angels and Tangs will nip on the stingray. This will likely cause it to go into a death curl and unfortunately it’s rare anyone is able to bring a ray back from that situation.
As for the Cowfish, it’s likely this guy will also nip on the ray.
Do you realise the amount of care rays need?
First off;
They need to be given huge areas of just open sand and often a floating scape is best to keep them. Corals can risk damaging the fins of rays so if you keep SPS then it’ll need to be higher up in the tank.
