My Yellow is a cool dude. Wouldn't say he's aggressive at all but he will defend himself. I've also noticed him kind of being a ref at times, swimming into the midst of scuffles between other fish and defusing the situation. I got this guy along with a Singapore Angel when I bought a 60 gal system being sold locally. Introduced both into my 75 and since they were bigger than any one else, no one bothered them in the least. They're kind of buddies since they were tank mates in the 60, but I do see them tail wagging at each other from time to time, he he, the Singapore thinks he's a Tang. Nothing serious though and everyone gets along. I've had them for over a year now and suspect the previous owner probably had them at least that long.

I forget how long I've had my reef, this is the 2nd fish addition to my reef after my Ocellaris clowns, I've had him either 4 or 5 years. Through ups and downs he has been fine. Survived a heater failure that sent the tank into the 60's. He doesn't bother any other fish. I would recommend this as a first Tang for anyone, particularly those with tanks of borderline large enough size for a Tang. I appreciate that this fish is always front and centre in the tank compared to other fish which frequently hide.

my yellow tang has been with me a year now and has been a bastard since day 1 I love his bad attitude around the reef and dont even think about turning the lights on any where in the house around the tank in the night or else he comes out of the reef looking real grouchy and pale
