clown tang

I have a 120g tank with a Kole eye tang that’s about 3”. I have one small trigger fish and plan to upgrade to ~250g in a few years. Want to know if it’s a bad idea to add a clown tang to the mix. It’s a reef tank with a few corals but it’s mainly rock right now. Thoughts?

Of the 2 sister species, which do you like better under blues? Acanthurus lineatus, the clown tang? Or Acanthurus sohal, the Sohal Tang?

HELP! I just came home from work on lunch and noticed my clown tang in his hiding spot in a rock not swimming around & breathing heavy. I offered seaweed per usual and he will not come out and looks to be injured or something. All of my other fish are doing just fine. He was swimming around last...

Here’s my first post, which I posted in the wrong forum section Thread 'QUICK HELP!!! MARINE VELVET OR NO?' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/quick-help-marine-velvet-or-no.1007442/ Could this be Black Ich Turbellarian Infection instead of Hook worms??? And will Prazi or another medication...

Wanting to catch this early before it’s to late, is this a sign of marine velvet? My clown rang is eating a lot and doesn’t seem to be bothered just once or twice swiping against the sand on same side of discoloration. I have UV sterilizer running in display tank and was thinking about adding...

I’m taking the tank down. I’ve had the tangs ranging from 2-4 years now. All get along great with each other and look perfect. All fish have been properly quarantined before introduced into the system. I’m hopeing to find one home for them all. I know that’s not the easiest. Im located in the...

Hi, My freckle face tang has been acting very reserved and not eating much the last couple of days. Very different to what she’s normally like. Today, I noticed this mark on the side of her body. Can someone tell me what is it? A bite mark? Or disease? I have my suspicions that it might be...

Experienced Clown tang keepers only please! I have always thought the Clown Tang is the most beautiful fish. I have heard so many 2nd and 3rd hand stories of peoples experiences with them not going well. Very little advice from people first hand. For that reason I did not stock my tank with one...

Does anyone have an idea what is going on with my clown tang? One eye is fogged over and the left side of the fish is getting gross.

Has anyone ever seen one in person? I was only able to find one pic on the internet but they apparently exist. If you have seen one in a store please let me know where!

Most of the research I've done says that generally Melanurus are generally peaceful. Well mine is a jerk. I just put the clown tang in yesterday and don't want to take him back out unless I have to. Is there a way to curb this aggression so that they can eventually get along? The next thing I'm...
