I had a sohal before but had to sell as he started getting mean. It got to the point that it wouldn't let others eat

My black shoulder is the hardest working tang. And he's never aggressive.

Powder brown is nice and has an interesting personality.

Regal tang is my favorite looking, but doesn't eat any algae. Also the boss in the tank.

My Powder Brown looks nice, but he's retarded, my flame fin Tomini is a constant grazer, my rocks are clean as a whistle.

I've got a scopas and he's an awesome algae eater (I've also got a decorated rabbit), but no algae in my tank. He's also nice to all my other fish, with the exception of he sometimes gives the rabbit a little smack when the rabbit doesnt stop following him around.

Achilles would be my favorite, it does pose a chanllenge to keep but well worth the effort.

Bristle tooth family would be the hardest working..... As far as aggression goes its a roll of the dice..... All tangs are territorial.... It's a matter of, to what degree.... Not many people have tanks large enough for sailfins, shoals, unicorns or achilles IMHO
