Hey guys,
Planning on adding a powder brown tang to my 125 once it's ready. Will it get along with a orange bristle tooth? I would also like to have a magnificent foxface. Those will be my 3 big fish for the tank. Should they be ok together? Thanks!

IMO, I think they would be fine. I would add them like: Orange bristle, mag foxface, then the PB last. I have heard that PB can be a bit pushy and that is why I believe last would be best. GL

I had a powder brown. It was a beautiful fish until it jumped out of the tank. It was very agressive and agree with adding it last. I tried to add a Klein's butterfly and it beat the hell out of the poor thing.

Thanks all! Now I'm thinking no for the PBT. I was thinking a Luetenent tang instead. Any experience with them?
