Purples are beautiful but like Ruth said with her yellow tang..purples are NASTY too....I have one for my 120 gallon...resides in my 50g right now and is fairly small, added in a beautiful fish that was eating amazingly well for the type of fish, added the tang back in after 10 days in solitary confinement, they got along "ok" for 3 weeks...then the other day as I am watching them...SLICE ...the side of the larger but more subdued fish. Needless to say, the other fish died within 2 days even in a Q situation. When I switch over to the 120 I will add the tang absolutely LAST so I don't have this happen again!

I have a Kole in my reef...kind of blah coloring but a neat fish.

A Powder brown tang (the one with the orange on it (japonica) or a kole tang.
Never buy a tang on-line.
Choose a plump one, clear eyes, no tears,spots or bloches.
Make sure it is eating. Have the LFS feed him and don't believe them is they tell you it just ate.
Forget about the powder blue. Most do OK for a while and die for no obvious reasons.
Good Luck
