Yeah probably.

I would be more worried about your damsel with the copperband and wrasses.

If you can keep two purple tangs together as the only tangs in the tank I would say you can do anything! :D

I've had Bluethroats in all of my tanks. My current is a CL 70G Artisan II with mixed reef and heavy wrasses. He's @4-4.5" and gets along with everyone. I keep him well fed to lessen aggression.

Should be fine, as it gets larger it may, but not necessarily go after the cleaner shrimp, particularly after a molt.

Yep. My only concern would be the shrimp.
