I don't think corals and inverts do well with copper, hopefully someone with more experience will chime in

No to copper. It will kill all your invertebrates and coral

Test copper levels daily as well. And don't use in main tank as it's not good for invertebrates etc. Leaches into rock and silicone as well. Good luck w the tang. Quarantines best suited
