Powder blue tang vs Regal tang

[Aquattro]

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.

My purple, regal and sailfin are awesome.......but the yellow is an ass......

I have not had any trouble with my 2 Regal's bothering my PB or for that matter any of my tangs.

ATM I have:

2 Regals
2 Sailfins
1 Powder Blue
1 Scopas
1 Yellow
1 Lieutenant
1 Tommi

That all I can think of ATM but there might be one more. They all get along very well and swim the length of my tank by request, all I have to do is walk past it.


Powder Blues can be very hard to keep when purchased from a LFS SOMETIMES. I got mine from another reefer who was shutting down his tank. I did try 1 and only 1 from a LFS and when it died I said not again and waited for someone to be selling one that had been in a tank for at least a year.

Just my 2 pennies worth.
