I feel like bristletooth tangs are a tang almost everyone who has kept tangs or wants to keep tangs has! So many kinds out there! Thought it would be fun to make a thread for them.

What bristletooth tang do you have and why?

Here is Blue, he is my blue-lip bristletooth tang I came across in an LFS a few months ago. Very different coloring!

I have a blue eyed bristletooth. He's super active, eats a ton of algae. He's also sort of a spaz, and definitely the alpha of the tank.
 
Here’s my Blue Eye/Twin Spot. He’s gorgeous but when I added my two angels he was nasty, ironically he left the Majestic alone but always went for the Fireball and every so often still has his flare ups. I probably wouldn’t own another Ctenochaetus tang and would only really have an Achilles as the tang I’d own. This boy is going on ~5 years with me.

I have a lovely tomini named Tommy. He is constantly picking and cleaning which I appreciate and is really the only tank who could fit in my tank. He's the alpha but never bully's.
 
My Yellow eye is in the sump of my main system, so it’s basically impossible to capture, but here’s the only good picture I have of my Tomini tang in my frag tank.

I find both to be extremely shy on camera - I wonder if others too?
Mine is very camera shy!
