Favorite fish killed by nasty tang

I'm a victim of misinformation from the local fish store,online information, and denying my past experiences about having a powder brown mimic tang in a 65 gallon aquarium. I should never have bought the juvenile mimic tang after learning hard lessons from a sailfin and tamini tang. Simply put, if you dont have a big aquarium dont bother getting a tang. I lost my precious multi color pygmy angel to the spurs of the mimic tang. At great cost, time, and many miles driven to tampa and orlando i finally located my prized fish. I had her for 3 wonderful months and tonite i flushed her down the toilet grave with much regret. Please, if you value peaceful fish, never have any tang in a small tank. Tangs are aggressive and need room to grow. I learned a very hard lesson i hope others can avoid; i'm crying as im writing this topic.
for a majestic angel.
