blue and powder blue tangs?

[schrun]

Hello all,
I have a couple of questions if anybody can help. The first questions is how reef safe are powder blue tangs? The second question is will the powder blue attack my blue tang if I was to get one. I have a 72 bow front tank.
Thanks

Yep, perfectly reef safe.
I don't know which will attack which but IMO that's a bad combination.
I also think the 72 is too short for a PBT.

u should only keep 1 tang in a 72...personally i'd keep a kole tang in such a tight quarter

Both of those tangs (as most) are perfectly reef safe. A PBT and a Blue would go fine together (different shape/genus) provided your tank was big enough, which it isn't. The PBT will most likely become stressed, get a disease (because they get diseases easier than most tangs) and die.

Since PWB is a lot more aggressive than hippo and similarly shaped, PWB will be likely to show constant aggression towards hippo. Actually 72 is barely enough for your hippo alone. So I wouldn't get PWB if I were you.

I guess PBT is out of the question. Thanks for the info guys!!!
