Hello. As many of you know I am about to move my tank into an 180gal this week. What I need is a really awesome fish! Something that can be my center of attention. Currently I have a yellow tang, two snowflake clowns, firefish, cleaner wrasse, bicolor blenny, diamond goby and a **** devil damsel (which may not make it in my new aquarium lol). All I can think of for that fish is Achilles tang or a naso. Is there anything else that will not pick at my soft corals that looks stellar?

My vlaminigi tang thAt went to allan, that i now think is with james is a awesome fish...

If you can find a tiny one, i would get it..... They are not pricey like a achilles or purple tang but get big and full of character....

I miss mine....

He isnt the shy type and will follow you if you walk by the tank... He would eat out your hand and is a blast to watch.....


You wont regret it, until its time for him to go to a bigger home..

Vlaminigis can get streamers dude

He was awesome when i saw him last at allan tank break down..... Wish i could of set up a bigger tank to get him back.

I had a naso and currently have a purple, yellow, chevron and bristletooth tang and would dump them a for the big guy....... They are boring compared to him.

How much is your budget? Medium Red Sea Regals are available through our local vendors. If you want a smaller adult or a juvenile you will have to go to someone like NYAquatics.

Budget isn't an issue really but I would say under 180. I really appriciate your input everyone. You guys have given me a lot to think about.

If you are not as worried about reef safe, a large angel is good show piece. We have a large emperor angel in one on the tanks and he is stunning. Of course the big porcupine puffer and Picasso trigger have more personality. :)
