Are they compatible in a 25g or do the calvus eat the shellies? Also, what shellie do you find best for a tang community tank?

I like the Multis, but if you going with Calvus as well I would go with the Brevis species of shellie. I would get 6 Shellies and 1 Calvus.

The calvus probably will not eat the shellies outright, but it may harrass the shellies enough to stress them into poor health. On the other hand, with particularly robust shellies, it may make no difference other than that you probably will not see any shellie fry ever. I believe Theresa_M tried this with one calvus and a set of stapps. She eventually seperated them, but I think for the few months they were together, it was manageable.

Hoping that there must be a word for everything I mean...
