No...I wanted to say "not really" but that could be misleading. The correct answer is no.

Tell everyone you plan to upgrade your tank to a 90 or a 120 within the next 6 months or so and you will get some answers more to your liking. You still wont like all the answers but I am sure a few would be ok for you.

Skip all the tangs, they are all far too large for your system. Try browsing through some online shopes for other fish that you like that might thrive better in a smaller tank.

One of the most common pitfalls:

Convincing yourself that you CAN keep a fish even though the chances of success are unstable.

You keep asking if there is any Tang you can keep in your tank which leads me back to what i said before .... you like the idea of a tang more than the actual tang itself....

No one can tell you not to get a Tang and no one can keep you from getting one if you decide to do it.....but ultimately you have been given a lot of good advice on tangs and their compatability in a system such as yours..... which should be enough to convince you that a Tang is not the best choice of fish for your setup.......

Dogboy out....

Ok I finally made up my mind and I am going to get a Lemon peel angle. What are the chances he/she will nip at my corals?

50/50

Best bets, in my opinion, for pygmy angels would be a flame angel or a potter's angel. There may be a few others but these ones are spectacular fish in my opinion and should do OK in your 46. They'll for sure leave your SPS alone, where things might get dicey with pygmy angels is with LPS and clam mantles, but these two species in particular should be OK even with those.

One caution though: one or the other, not both. Like many fish, they don't take too kindly to other fish with the same shape in their territory, as they view them as competition.

i have a Blonde naso in my 65 gallon tank. Had her for about 1 1/2 yrs and she is definatly way to big for my tank. But I would rather Have a larger tank, than get rid of my favorite fish. There for, I just bought bigger tank from Mike @ Hidden reef. Along with another Blonde Naso, only a Male this time...

The male Naso's have the streamers, but usually dont grow out until about 4"
