Adding a juvenile mimic with an established mimic tang.

[atoll]

I have a mimic tang of about 4.1/2" max. I was in my LFS and had a juvenile mimic of about 3" so quite different colouration. I am tempted to go back and buy it.I have a 110 gallon reef tankbwith lots of rock work with overhangs, nooks and caves.
I know it's a risk but what do people think of the chances of them settling together?

It is possible. It may or may not work. What are the dimensions of the 110?

I'm gonna say don't. That tank is only 48" x 18". You can get away with another smaller Acanthurus sp. in that tank (I.e. the Mimic), but two identical would go over like a fart in church. There will be aggression in that small of a footprint, and if not immediately, then eventually, one is going to die, IMO.

I would say go with another small Acanthurus sp. like a PBrT or Lavender, or a medium sized Ctenochaetus sp. such as a flavicauda.

Happy reefing!
