I have a 12g nano. Would anyone see a problem with putting a Yellow Tang in with a False Percula? Read somewhere that a Yellow Tang in a small tank is not a good idea. Does anyone have any advice?

Too small of a tank, yellowtangs get big when they grow. Plus you will need to feed him seaweed other then brine shrimp. THey love seaweed. I had one in a 20gallon which was length wise long, so it was able to swim around a lot but even then I thought it was too small so I gave it to someone who had a 90gallon tank. It was happier there

Take a dinner plate and put it in the tank... how does it look in there?

well, as everyone else said, a yellow tang is definitely not suited for a nano cube..

Really..that does sound interesting, I'm wrighting that one down! I like watching odd tank mates get along..I had a FW/brackish puffer that loved a gold fish. The gold fish was won at a fair and the guy I was dating at the time put it in there with the puffer when I was at work, I came home and they where swimming around together-it looked like playing tag. They were tank mates for about 6-7 years, until my friends little daughter put her cool aid in the tank and killed them.. I was really upset. Also had a angel take up with a neon, same way. Thanks for the idea!
