Achilles hybrid tang or powder blue hybrid tang tang

[Gman6766]

Wanted to see what everyone would choose between a achilles hybrid tang or a powder blue hybrid tang? As soon as I decide which one i like more i see a pic of the other and it just goes on and on. Looking to get one of the 2. What do you all like better if could have one or the other?

Nothing beats the Hybrid achilles.
I love the steel blue on the Powder Blue Hybrid but it’s just the overall fish doesn’t look amazing when it’s hybridised. I dislike Powder blue if I’m honest and have always lent towards the Achilles and their hybrids. But if I had an Achilles hybrid and a Goldrim infront of me I’d go the gold rim. I just love the grey/black body with highlights of yellow and a white caudal fin.
So then throw in the hybrid Powder Brown x Gold Rim and it’s a whole new game IMO. The fleck of gold on the tail is stunning.

The contrast of the body and gold rim on the powder blue hybrids is really hard to beat! I also like that the powder blue hybrids usually retain the yellow on the tail, as opposed to the orange on the Achilles. It gives the fish a more uniform look IMO. The powder blue hybrids also appear to be more consistent from my experience. The Achilles hybrids tend to range more in appearance.

Achilles hybrid would be my choice. Powder blues are too boisterous and the blue isn't blue enough for me on the hybrid.. I love the sharp retro look of the Achilles hybrid.

I've seen several hybrids on reefprostore.com

I prefer the non hybrid versions of both. The hybrids just look like a muted version of the original and the Achilles loses the signature orange tear, which I think is the coolest part. The powder blue just looks like someone turned down the saturation.

I on the other hand like the Pure Powder Blue Tang and the Pure Achilles Tang. I get it, the hybridized tangs are rarer and more expensive, but IMO, the looks of the pure-bred tangs are better.
