What is your favorite tang for a reef?

[BigJim]

I like the naso tangs. They are beautiful, hard working and not jerks like most other tangs.

My yellow Tang is tough but doesn't hassle anyone.
He constantly grazes, cleaning the tank.
Eats pretty well everything I feed

My favorite is what many people consider the most boring. My Convict is an attention hog with a wonderful personality. I also think he looks striking even if he is black and white.

My favorites are the white tail bristle tooth, yellow scopas, chocolate mimic tang, and the scopas/black hybrid.

Love my Sailfin. Not shy, very curious and arguably very beautiful. He got pushed around by my yellow tang at first, but after a few days he pushed back and now that’s not an issue anymore. The yellow tang is such a Richard.

Chocolate Tang for me. My current one nips at the coral - does not do any damage to them, but the areas where it nips do not grow as fast as the areas that he cannot get to.

Purple or Mustard tang is #2 for me - hard to find healthy, robust mustard tangs.

Almost all Tangs are my favorite. Of the 6 I have in my tank, my Unicorn is my favorite so far. Really peaceful, gets along with all other tank mates and an overall character. And getting big quick. My final tang will be a Sohal. I've always had a desire to someday own that tang.

I love convict tangs. I saw a school 1000s while diving in Hawaii. Something to behold in person

I love the purple tang. While he was the boss of the tank, he wasn't overly aggressive to bully fish to death. Once the pecking order was established then all was good. The purple tang added so much beauty with its contrasting cobalt color and bright yellow fins. A very personable fish that ate from our hands and the way he swam through the tank was elegant. Here's a pic of the purple tang we had for many years.

Man im surprised I didnt see it. WHITE TAILED BRISTLETOOTH!!!!! All the coloration of a juvi chevron without the change in adulthood. They stay semi small and for the most part are not that aggressive. Second is the Gold Rims. I want an Achilles but man that money can go to my acan obsession and id rather not build a tank around just the one fish. Sohal if I decide against the goldrim. BTW not my pics as they will all be added at the end and believe me they are much better in person.

I love my Tomini....hard worker

It’s so hard to choose — Achilles, powder blue, sohal, clown probably for me.

All are nasty fish so obviously for me it’s simply aesthetics.

Chocolate....mine is a tad aggressive to my mag foxface, but he is awesome!

 

[Marie7]

I love my blonde naso. It gets along great with all my other fish, and is best buds with my foxface.

Heyyyyy, mine too, as a matter fact he gets along with everything I have in my tank

 

[Jordan Prather]

Heres my brothers vlamingi tang beautiful fish hes like a puppy dog to follow you around the tank and the other day I was bottle feeding him reefroids out of the syringe while trying to feed my corals

Ok so Ive had a tang gang for several years including Achilles (sadly lost him earlier this year) Purple, Powder Blue and Whitetailed Bristletooth that all look beautiful in there own way but my favorite has to be my Fowleri Tang. He has the coolest personality very calm but not scared of the others and always follows me around the tank when I clean the glass or am just looking in. Also love how he can change color in a few seconds depending upon his mood from pale grey to deep brown body with all the color trimmings.
