I think michika had one in her tank with sps and it left her corals alone but I'm not 100% sure.
Thats what I was thinking but I guess you still never know.

That could be a problem.

Seems like its totally hit or miss. Plus my tank isn't really big enough.


I also of course worry about the collection and problems with these species. I would not be buying from a LFS but instead from another source which I trust a little more (no offense to LFS ) and thie fish would not be going through a bunch of tanks/wholesalers but still...

Probably won't take the risk. I think another 'easy' to care for (and smaller) tang would be a better choice.
