Hey guys. I have a 37 gallon column tank with a giant cat paw coral in the center of it. Would I be able to get a mimic tang in the tank. If not is there any tangs that I can have in this small of a tank?

Sorry but no, tangs require swimming room. They are grazers and swim long distance in the ocean. Placing one in less then 6' long tank will cause stress and poor health and eventual the tang will shut down and die. There are tangs that will work in a 70gal tank like the Kole tang or Tomini.
