Not sure what Tang you are referring to woodood, the Yellow tangs tand to be more aggressive than others. I listed the three more docile species in each of the genuses. Remember that I did qualify my statements that those are the fish I have experience with and that these are generalities with every individual fish being different.

My favorite tang is the Yellow Eyed Kole.

My Yellow Eyed Kole regularly picks up sand and so I assume that is for digestion purposes. Had never heard that before TG, but it makes sense in terms of the observation. Could also be eating any algae present in the sand.

I reiterate that the minimum tank size is a 75 gallon for one or two tangs and it imperative that you manage your tank to accomodate their size.

Glad you all enjoyed the information.
