Best Tang for Reefer XXL

[Huskymaniac]

So unfortuantley I have to get rid of my Kole Tang. Its literally picking my clam and sea fans to death. I am debating whether or not to add another tang or just go tang-less. Was thinking of doing either a goldrim, powder blue, or powder brown. Which do you think is the least likely to rogue in a tank?

You may not like my response, but I have had pretty good luck with my Yellow Tang in my 90 gallon. Added him along with a coral beauty dwarf angel and other than some "establishing territories" on the first day he has been pretty good. He is also a lover of hair algae and has helped wipe it out in my tank.

He also loves seaweed:

Gold rim, powder blue, and powder brown are all comparable as far as demeanor.

Tangs graze, it's what they do, it will just be the luck of the draw if you find one that won't follow suit. My mimic picks at my gorgonians, similar to your seafan, i'm sure he would pick at a seafan as well. He's likely picking at tiny bits of algae, which could bother clams to a negative end, as well some other corals. I know tangs are widely considered reef safe but I find them to pick at alot of stuff, it just depends on if it bothers the coral or not.
