Captive bred purple tang experience

[ReefinRheum]

Any updates on the captive bred purple tangs for those with one? Are their aggression levels any better compared to wild caught?

I'm considering a yellow, gem and captive bred purple in my 150g tank.

Cant compare it to a wild caught as i never had one but my captive purple tang is pretty easy going. The only time I ever seen him being aggressive was defending the fox face who for some reason was picking fights with my mimic tang. The mimic and fox arent fighting each other anymore so the purple isnt bothering my other tangs or other fish.

Thanks for the update! They are such beautiful fish so im leaning towards going with one.

I cant speak to the purple, but I have 3 yellows from Biota, all doing quite well.

I have a yellow and purple from Biota and they are both fantastic.
Purple is the tank boss.
