If you are keeping the foxface, I'd say one or the other. Butterflies are my favourite fish but they can be a bitch to keep, especially the pakistani's. You need to keep the water pristine and keep stress down otherwise they can be disease magnets, which will kill it and your other fish. The flame angels are probably less reef safe than the pakistani's as they'll go after softies (especially zoas... they LOVE zoas once they get a taste for them).

If you do decide to add both, I'd add the pakistani first. I wouldn't want that fish on the bottom of the pecking order, especially with 4 other fish that could be potential bullies. Flame angels are hardy enough to put up with the crap they'll take as bottom fish on the totem pole.
