Achilles Tang??

[ruck'n'reefer]

For anyone who has them (or has had them). Are Achilles good macro algae controlers? Are they aggressive towards other herbivores? Is a 150 large enough?
Any input or advice would be great. I am thinking about getting one.

Hi Rob, I haven't kept one but have been around the boards long enough to have heard many disappointing stories. They are described by Scott Michael to eat "filamentous microalgae and small fleshy macroalgae". These guys like turbulent water and big tanks (which you have). They are akin to powder blues in difficulty.

Thanx Troy!

I thought that was the case.
I may try one once my tweaking stops. If i ever stop tweaking.
