Tang

[tanks alot]

i wanted to get a tang that is in the Zebrasoma family but i dont know which one. it is a 180 with a foxface, vlion, pgrouper

Any fish in this family would be a great choice for your system.
My two favorites are
Zebrasoma desjardinii (Red Sea Sailfin Tang) and
Zebrasoma xanthurum (Purple Tang)
I have a Zebrasoma veliferum (Sailfin Tang) in my system and I love him, I just wish I had gotten the purple instead. A good looking purple tang is just hands down gorgeous.

I agree any of them with that tank, I have Yellows, purple and sailfin in my 150g for years now...some are a little more aggressive than others, IMO, the scopas is the most aggressive of that genus......I think the Sailfin has the greatest personality and easy going and not as easily stressed.

i have a scopas in my 125 and his corol is so dull. i really want a purple but they are so expensive around here and most places want to much for a red sea salfin

O man id go with a purple. Ive seen one at the lfs and I want it so bad but I gotta wait till i can afford a larger tank.

But if you do make sure hes the last fish added. Those things can get mean.

I've got them both and I must admit... I love them. They are huge. About the size of your hand. When the Sailfin flashes his bat like fins he's a monster.
