I had one in a previous set-up. They are one of the more aggressive tangs IMO. I would not try one if you have other tangs. They enjoy eating like pigs and frequent small feedings are a must. They are very active and their velvety skin is very prone to ich. They will do best if they are the boss in the tank. Depending on what else you plan to add to your tank, the PBT should probably be added last. If you get one, I strongly recommend you quarantine.

PBT's are one of my favorite Tangs. They can get ick, but not as bad as a Achillies Tang. They can be aggressive so make sure you have a tank on the larger side and it is added last, after quarantine that is.
