The Achilles Tang is so stately and handsome. Unfortunately it’s a poor choice for most hobbyists for a myriad of reasons.

Hybrid Powder Blue. He does nip at my JF Insane Stylo, but he gets a pass since he is constantly grazing the rocks for algae and is peaceful with everyone else in the tank.

Voted other but really don't have a favorite. I've enjoyed Koles. I'd like to own a Naso but my 240 I don't think is big enough at 54" wide and 30" depth. Chevron tang is pretty. I even like the Atlantic Blue. I still have no idea if I'm going to get one for my tank sadly mainly because I can't pick one...so I'm in the lame bucket today :)

Orange Shoulders are my favorite: (this is not my image, apparently my file was too large)

@Js.Aqua.Project Looks like he / she brushed their shoulder up against a freshly painted wall. That or they added some stripes quickly to go racing :) Pretty never the less.

In order starting with the two I'll probably never be able to have due to tank size, then 2 more that I might someday have a big enough tank for:

Sohal
Desjardinii
Purple
Kole

This was a hard question for me it was always the Purple Tang and I finally got one. Then I saw the Achilles and decided that was my favorites I got one too. Now I have 6 tangs and the Achilles is my favorite hands down he has bossed my tank around for the past 5 years. It’s daddy and everyone else in my tank.

Love my desjardinii, model citizen and algae eating machine. He will eat any kind of algae, bubble, hair, cheato, anything. My puppy dog of the tank is my Vlamingi tang, he will let you pet him lol

Powder blue and ?? I have a PB/White Cheek that I have grown quite fond of. I wasn't a fan at first while it was in QT but it darkened some in the main tank and doesn't have that aggressive PB disposition. :)
I picked it up on diver den about 4 months ago.

Powder Blue and White Cheek. Mine is the same way, shows no aggression at all with the rest of the tank mates. I had a Purple Tang that chased everyone in the tank, when it started eating acans and zoas that was the last straw.
