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

Like Doug said, the Bristletooths are workhorses. My Kole Tang goes from lights on to lights out, and as a special bonus he is a fish poop vacuum.

And here I thought you were saving all the "fish poop" for your wife.

My Sohal is the showpiece of my tank, also have a blonde naso.

Blonde Naso is passive, more expensive to others like a yellow or hippo, but well worth it.

Sohal, in nature are aggressive. I myself am lucky and he isn't that bad. I think it is very unique, and not many have, but you take a chance on its tendency to beat other fish up. Like the Blonde, it can be more expensive, but I do love mine.
