Trying to decide on a second tang for my tank. These two are similar but was wondering if anyone had any opinions on either?
Mustard Guttatus or Maculiceps tang?

Both are pretty peaceful for tangs, the guttatus is imported less frequently.

I have a mustard in with my gem, black and fowleri.
I bought him as 1" and now he is 2.5" after about 6months. He is a model citizen with the other tangs.
I've had one for a few years in the past about 10yrs ago. What I like about mustards is that they are like a sohal on crack.... Meaning they continually pace and move about, but at a faster pace. These guys come from heavy current zones and need lots of flow to be happy. They will almost seem to ride the incoming flow then within a sec be one the other side of my 12' tank.
Easily one of my all time favorite tangs for that reason alone.
Now, if you asked which one...a mustard or a fowleri. That would be a tough decision for me

So, I picked up the Maculiceps tang. He was pale white at the store. He was there for about two or three months in copper. As soon as I acclimated him, he colored right up.
