Powder Blue vs powder Brown tang

[littlefoxx]

Hey all just out of pure curiosity would people share stories about their powder brown or blue tangs?

Which one is more friendly?
Are they hard to keep?
Do they have good personalities?

Lots of people I know have one and there are always both types at one of my LFS that usually sell out of them as soon as they get them!

I don't have both, but my powder brown is fairly easy going. Not hard to keep at all (eats everything and grazes continually). Really good personality.

Never fully liked the powder brown as I saw it more often at the lfs. The powder blue looks way better. My powder blue was a bully even at small size but eventually was put in check by my Achilles.

I lucked out and got a really gorgeous one (don't have a picture handy), but it's my wife's favorite tang. Got it for a sweet deal as well.

I have never been able to successfully keep a Powder Blue Tang in any tank, but Powder Browns have always done well for me. I've even had some that I used to feed by hand. They were a lot more interactive while the Blues always seemed more nervous to me...but that's just my own experience. I actually don't seek to buy them at all anymore though.
