this is a great thread, lots of knowledge here and i love it.

Im a new member, and i was just searching cause i wanted a bit more specific information on certain tangs, and i found it here, so i this thread made me join.

I have a question for craig, i have a 100g tank, and was wondering on what you thought of Both a Yellow, and a Lieutenant tang in this tank. According to your list, its OK, but when i mention the two together on other forums and to my reef club, they say its not really a great idea, as they both compete for the same overall food sources, and will probably fight. I wanted to know how you would respond to this.

And also, what is your thoughts on the Achilles Tang (Acanthurus achilles). Both the Achilles and the Lieutenant are under Acanthurus, so they should be ok with Zebrasoma (probably a yellow) correct?

Thanks,
Jay
