OK, Tang Police, I need a little help. LiveAquaria and almost every other site I've looked at says 75g minimum for a White Tail Bristletooth Tang. However, at a potential of 6.5" my 3ft by 2ft footprint seems a tad small. How accurate is this information, and do they reach this size particularly young or take a few years to grow out that far (assuming I start with a juvy)? If it will outgrow this inside of three years or so, do you have a better recommendation - other than the ubiquitous and frankly rather boring baby yellow tang? Whatever it is must be reef safe, or at least trustworthy with corals and preferably larger snails and hermits. Preferably nonvenomous - I'm a klutz, LOL! I like it best when I can raise my new fish from a baby and keep it throughout its life.
