If anyone is considering a Tang for their tank have a good look at the Kole Tang. (Ctenochaetus strigosus) I've had mine for 3.5 months now and am very pleased with it.
Because I have a Tuskfish, Lunare Wrasse, and Hawkfish in this tank I can't keep a CUC and was looking for a suitable detritus eater. Somewhere I read that the Kole was a good tank cleaner so I bought one. What a good investment! This guy sucks up film algae like a Hoover; and eats nearly anything ugly in the tank. It loves to eat fish poop (gross as that sounds
) As an added bonus, they stay quite small for a Tang (6"-7"); and are quite peaceful. Most of them come from Hawaii, so no worries about questionable capture. I highly recommend them. Here's an older pic of mine, just after I got him. His fins are a much brighter orange colour now.
