room for a yellow tang?

[daisy]

Will a yellow tang be happy in a 58 gal oceanic with 100+ lb LR and lots of coral, or is the tank to small / crowded for this fish?

I had one in my 58 and ultimately traded him back to the store. While it was perfectly healthy it simply gets too big for the tank and is no longer able to swim between the rocks. Personally I wouldn't have a yellow tang even in my 90. They are great fish while small but they definately do get large adn grow quickly at that.

Thanks.
