Just a quick update; I picked up a Kole Tang and am very happy with the decision. I was trolling the big 3 LFS in the area looking for the right fish, and after a couple weeks of watching took a chance on a pale and somewhat thin but otherwise healthy looking specimen. Fortunatly I'd done my homework and new that a stressed tang will appear pale, and since it was surrounded by about 50 yellow tangs and a few other species I figured it was just kinda stressed in the LFS. Sure enough once it settled into it's temporary home (QT) it colored up and began cleaning up the brown film algae in the QT. After a few weeks in the now very clean QT it's moved to the DT and looks great. In my travels I also came across some Tomini tangs which I considered, but decided to stick with the more common (and I felt better understood) Kole tang. Thanks again for the input. I may still do the Blenny but I will watch the food supply for a while before adding another grazing fish.
P.S. for the first couple days it was harassing and being harassed by the Azure Damsel, but they've settled in now and everyone is getting along.
