If you don't quarantine, your odds are best avoiding acanthurus genus tangs. You could try bristletooth tangs like KoleCurrently have a pair of lightning maroon clowns, coral beauty, 2 pj cardinals, and a yellow tang. I have 2 anemones, a rainbow urchin, harlequin shrimp, and 2 peppermint shrimp and a bunch of snails and hermit crabs.. and then I just have a bunch of corals

Have all your fish been treated as if they have ich or velvet? If you've treated them all in therapeutic levels of copper or CP for 30 days, you could try an acanthurus tang!I have a 55G that I use for quadantine
Orange shoulder is one of the hardier acanthurus tangs!Nevermind, I googled and answered my own question
Out of all of the Acanthurus which would you recommend for more of an easier to care for?
I have found mimic tangs to be relatively hardy and pretty peaceful for Acanthurus tangs.Nevermind, I googled and answered my own question

I recommend treating for velvet. Copper treats both ich and velvet.Just reading this and curious, you treat them for ich while in quarantine just in case? Should they be treated as a precaution for other things before introducing them to your tank?
How long should they be quarantined? I'm kind of new to this, I've had the same saltwater fish for a long time but I am now just adding more fish, I don't want to add them to my established tank without quarantining them first, I'm working on setting up a 20g tank to use for this. In the past I've just added the new fish and so far so good..no issues, but I know that's not ideal.I recommend treating for velvet. Copper treats both ich and velvet.

Thank you! That info will be very helpful when I get more fish! The only thing I don't understand is fallow, what is that?https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/the-dos-and-don’ts-of-quarantine.203898/
Qt is recommended, but to be effective you would need to treat the fish you already have as well.
A fallow tank is where there absolutely no fish in the system for a specific period of time (76 days if memory serves me right), to allow the life cycle of fish parasites to run their course without a host so that they die off.Thank you!
