do they ever nip at corals? could i keep one in a 90 gal (36x24x24)?

Corals are safe with a Convict Tang and one will do well in your 90 gal. In the wild they swim in groups and devour algae off corals and rocks.

Would a black tang be fine in tis setup also?
 
I don't have a good picture of one, but if you google 2 bar rabbitfish then you should see a bunch of pics......I think your tank would be a good size for one.

cheers,

Darren,
Any chance you can post a pic of the 2 bar rabbitfish? I cant find a pic . Are they also poisonous? Would my 36x24x24 be big enough for one?
 
Well, im getting the black tang. Im just hoping my tank is of an OK size for him. He will be the only fish. I might add a mandarin though.
