Default Powder blue tang vs Regal tang

Which one would you choose? Reasons? I am leaning toward the powder blue since I had a regal tang before so I want to try something else.

My regal bullied my PB to death. PB's are really difficult to get established, I won't try again.

Brad, you can have my pb when I transfer tanks, he rivals my achilles and the achilles is almost 3 times the size. Short of harpooning it I have had it with that mother. I am sure he is bullet proof.

I wouldn't go with either, yellow, purple, achilles, those are my choices.

, I'll come get him. Mine fought back hard, being half the size, but finally succumbed to the harassment. I might also borrow your harpoon to get my Regal out -lol

I am planning to add a purple and a Desjardin sailfin tang along with one of those two. Do you see any problem(s) with that? I already have a yellow and a naso in the tank.

Ya, I can see the purple being pushy. Depends on the individuals though. My Regal is an ass. My Naso is the perfect fish. I have a pair of yellows that are fine as well. But the Powder Blue got harassed all day long.

My Regal was quite friendly. I think he was the one that got bullied by the coral beauty which was about half of his size. And yes, I would harpoon that SOB any second. Tried to catch it to get rid of it but was never successful.

I have one yellow that's a model citizen and another that's the @ss of my tank. My Sailfin is very docile.

I'm never had much luck the PB,T I've tried twice and I'm not sure I'll try agian, although I haven't tried one in the big tank.
