Seveal weeks ago, I was in Houston and got a faily large Powder Blue and Powder Brown tangs. I wanted to add small fish but good healthy Powder Blue and Powder brown are hard to come by. Anyway, there were wars in my tank. The Powder Brown tang was getting beat up by the Powder Blue and the Purple. I removed the Powder Blue tang and put him in my refugium. Peace spread ove the tank. My PBrown is all healed and looks beautiful. He lost both of his spike during capture so that was why he was on the short end of the stick (plus he is much less agressive). His spike is growing back. I wanted to trade this PBlue back to the LFS for a smaller one.
Today is fish day at the LFS here in Corpus. Bruce got a beautiful 2.5 inches PBlue come in so I brought my 5 inch PBlue in to trade. I got my new PBlue in my refugium now. He seem healthy and is not thin. I will have to teach him how to eat Nori and get him all healthy first befor put him into the main tank. These guys are so agrresive that I think he will handle the Purple tang fine, even if he is smaller.
So now I got a yellow, a Purple and a Powder Brown tangs in my main tank, and a Powder Blue tang in my refugium. These are all the tangs I will put into my 450 tank. Please wish me luck.

Wow Minh, a 5" powder blue. I bet he was a fiesty, but gorgeous one! Best of luck with the new one.
