I wanna get a new tank with these fish. Would it be reef safe and what tank size/dimensions do you reccomend?

I would go with the largest that budget and room allow. I have a fairly large purple and a naso in a 6ft 180g and while they are fine I wish I had a little more length for them to swim in and I think the Achilles would appreciate a larger tank than 6ft length.

We would recommend a minimum of a 6ft tank, but 8ft would definitely be better. Tangs love shooting across and the more swimming space you can give them them better. With the exception of the puffer everything else should be reef safe. Those nems can be a bit aggressive so you would have to keep an eye on it especially with smaller fish.

Do you mean anemone when you say nems?
