I have a Powder Blue tang. It was in my 150g tank with a Red Sea Sailfin and a Blonde Naso. This tang although entered the tank last, and battled the idea of survival...was the biggest boss but the smallest tang. Mean does not come close to it. It killed a Moorish Idol and a Green Sea Grass Wrasse. It attacked my Leopard Wrasse over and over, it attacked any fish that got in its way and was generally just a jerk. It is also my favorite tang...however I would not own another.

Nice tang but from the list you put up I would let the cbb and flasher/fairy wrasse in first and let them get established. With this tang I would recommend putting it in as your last fish in the tank and probably get one a bit smaller then all the other fish in your tank. The powder blue also has a lower survival rate then many other tangs.

What size tank is it going in? That always makes a difference as well.

in all my experience with powder blue's they are really gentle and i freshwater dipped mine before i put him in qt and he hasn't ever had ick in my tank. Mind yiou i haven't ever had ick in my tank people think its kind of a miracle.
