Are azure damsel fish agressive? Can it be housed in a 150? With tangs?

Yes, all damsel fish are at least somewhat aggressive. And yes, IMHO, with enough room a tang would be OK in there as well.

yes, it is aggressive but not towards larger fish generally. Should be completely fine with tangs.

I have had an azure for a year and a half. Was 3rd fish added. Have added 13 fish since and has shown no aggression what so ever. Least aggressive damsel IMO. Think more along the lines of a chromis then a typical damsel. Great fish always out and easy to keep.

I have two and they only show aggression to each other on occasion. Never against any other fish. My clowns are way worse.

Mine was a butthole until ky maroon clownfish put him in check. Keeps to himself now. I think that would be fine with the tangs, tangs dont really take crap from other fish in my experience

It belongs to the Chrysiptera family, they are least aggressive, usually won't do much damage. I got an Arnaz damselfish, I kept it for years. Far as i monitor there isn't any aggressive behaviour from it.
