Have any zoos/aquariums/private facilities successfully managed to consistently breed tangs, triggerfish, large/dwarf angels, butterflies, or any other marine display fish? Thanks
 
Coral reef magazine does an annual survey of which marine fish have been bred at least once. The 2023 list is here: CORAL Magazine’s Captive-Bred Marine Fish Species List for 2023 - CORAL Magazine

Even hobbyists regularly breed the smaller marine species such as clownfishes and Bangai cardinals. The key hurdles are providing an adequate substitute for whichever species of marine plankton larval fish specialise in before settling down on a reef,

Liveaquaria captive-breeds many fishes like various types of clownfish, dottybacks, and angelfishes.
