Maybe I'm dreaming, but is it possible to have a tang in an agressive tank? It would be nice to have something eat at the algae.
I forget the name, but this tank looks like a yellow tang but has a brown(??) spot around their eye. Would this do OK with a puffer an an eel? (maybe a pair of maroon tangs too)

Yes it is posible, what kind of puffer and eel do you have? this will play a role in the type of tang you can have. Also it is not recommended to mix tangs unless you have a fairly large tank(125 +gal ) although I have seen it done. I have a 125 gal tank with a 20in snowflake moray a sharpnose puffer and a sailfin tang, it your eel and puffer are more arrgresive I would go with a purple tang altough they are more expensive, it would be a better choice especially if you are going to add more aggresive fish..ie) lionfish, some large wrasses, ...so really every situation is unique, just go slow and learn by research and not by just doing it and finding out the hard way like many people do.
