Can you home 2 sailfin tangs in a 600g? I have had one for almost 2 yrs now and he is about 5". I just purchased a whole tank shut down and received another sailfin ( 2.5") . would it be safe to add him to my main display? Would they eventually get along?

hi ,would you be able to get out if problem ?
also try acclimation "containment" of some sort first,
think you have a 50% chance due to size difference,jmo, good luck.
how about a pic of that 600... :)

Yeah, both are Z. velifer and not Z. desjardini, I recommend getting one out if not both and rejoining them, they won’t live together in harmony as adults and will most likely instead fight constantly. Here’s a photo of an adult Desjardini sailfin:
