Dear hobbyist, Purple and yellow tangs are very aggressive towards each other, and if you don't have a large aquarium with plenty of live rock, you will end up with 1 or 2 dead tangs. Its risky . Remember, Tangs of the same shape will fight . Some people introduce them at the same time,but have large tanks. That could work. Enjoy the hobby..

Strange I have a Yellow and a Scopis together in a 72 G and they swim together and seem to like each other. Same body shape. You never really know unless you try. If they dont get along take 1 back.

Scopas are generally much more easy-going than purples.
If the tank was larger, and you could fit another zebrasoma in there it would probably work.
