Poll - Favorite Tang

[Cannons Fish]

Just wondering what everybody favorite tang is. I just went with the 10 that I think are the most popular.

Convict all the way! My LFS has this little dude in their displays and he makes his way from one to the other. Super fun to watch and the guy is a work horse! Makes me wish I had a big enough tank ...

Pretty uncommon in the hobby due to their max size (20” ish) but I saw these in a shark lagoon at a public aquarium when I was little and fell in love

Powder blue and the Hippo Tang! I do love the color of the gem Tang as well

Don’t think I’ve ever seen one in person, but they sure do look amazing

Idk why but I love skopas and tomini tangs. Especially the aberrant skopas. But seeing as I’m not made of money and only have a 120g dt I’ll be going with a tomini if I do go with a tang

I love the atlantic blue tang. Pictures don't do them justice, in person the blue is insanely intense, even under normal lighting. Made friends with several of these guys snorkeling.

Under blue light, I love my yellow tang, even though he's super common, especially since he tends to keep his fins on full display:

That Clownfish in the background has red eyes. You better keep an eye on him before he makes plans to kill your whole tank. lol

They sure look red don't they? It's actually orange though, it's a platinum percula clown. It's one of the original inhabitants and so far the only thing it has attacked is the magnetic algae scraper, which for some reason the clowns hate with an intense passion...

I love my Tomini tang. Beautiful, active, and is among the smallest tangs so great for a medium sized tank.

 

[Regular_Reefer]

Medium sized as in 60g ? Haha

Any zebrasomas for me! Grow them to 6in size disks and they are impressive!
