But my friend is keeping it I'm only enjoying it for like a month or two

LFS stands for "Local fish store" :)

And that will likely be an issue, were any of the fish quarantined before adding? A stressed out tang that hasn't been treated is a time bomb...

I don't think its going to live in a 70 gallon either way considering it gets to 15+ inches as an adult. The coral beauty might also outgrow the 32 but isn't nearly as bad as the tang, consider giving it back to the LFS

I'll consider that once we get there for now I'm just going to enjoy him and his awesome personality always gretting me once he sees me lol
