What FAVOURITE tang do you own?

[Chin_Lee]

I just wanted to put this out for others to get a general idea what other people have for tangs. I basically copied the list from JL's site so don't bash me if your tang's not there; just indicate OTHER and comment what it is.
In your replies, I would also be interested in what you feed your tangs and if they have HLLE.
Looking forward to the results and replies.

EDITED:
Well.. i just realize you can only pick one and vote once. So i've modified it to the favourite TANG that you own unless the moderators can change the configuration to allow multiple votes and selections.

I have 2 tangs, and can only pick one. The one I put down was the white cheek. I feed him pellets, nori, and mysis. Healthy as can be. Had ick last year for a couple of days, garlic cleared it up.

have a yellow, it was develloping HLLE because I didn't know my mag9 was leaking electricity, she's grown quite a bit now that I"ve replace the pump, her face is back to solid yellow and she's getting quite fat.

food is ocean nutrition marine one marine two and marine reef flakes, the odd time i throw nori in but nobody goes nuts for it..

I have three tangs - Hippo, Powder Blue and Purple. I feed them all mysis, Ocean nutrition green pellets and seaweed.
The hippo's got some major HLLE and probably due to not feeding it enough algae as it was growing up. Its one of my first tangs that i've had for about 3.5 years since it was about 1.5 inches; now its about 5.5 inches. Unfortunately i wasn't as educated then about their necessities and i'm trying to reverse the hlle with lots of seaweed.
I've had my powder blue and purple for about 3 months and they both had some ick when they were first put into my tank but generous amounts of seaweed got them really healthy and it just disappeared.

My Yellow tang (Ling) was the first marine fish I ever bought. Really didn't know too much about the species though I did do my research to ensure it would work with my setup and planned tankmates. She has personality galore and rules her world! I feed her a variety of frozen foods with emphasis on mysis and spirulina, small amounts of flake and pellet from an auto feeder and a half sheet of nori almost every day (she goes crazy over the seaweed!) One of the fattest, brightest Yellows I have seen. I have had her for over 2 years now.

I voted other because I have no Tangs. Except for the Regal I don't like Tangs, and I only like the Regal because of the colour.

I have one Tang, The White Face or powder Brown. not the same one as Brad but the Acanthurus japonicus (HEHE) I'm not going to start the confusion again.
I feed it Flake, Brine, Mysis, and it loves 3 fishes purple sea weed.
It always gets flake or brine mixed with something more nutritious

Woo-hoo! PICTURES!! Well, one pic so far - and a darned fine one, thanks Jason!

Here's my first favourite, my Blonde Nay-Zoh:




And here's my second favourite, a beautiful Purple - still shy:

woo hoo ! Nice shots Alan. How'd you get the Naso?

The Hippo/Regal Tang would be my favorite. But a healthy one grows too fast for me. In 1 year, it grows from the size of a dime to at least 4" across. Not an issue if I had a big tank.
