Purple is my favorite color, would this tang do well with my blue hippo and tomini?

looking to up my stocking list :s 3 fish for 200 gal currently lol
The tang in the pic is one of @najer scopas. Hence the lack of a yellow tail.

a scopas should be no problem. Purples have a reputation for being…Richards of a galactic order. But every fish is unique so you could get lucky. If you’ve got your heart set on the purple, I’d try and find a small one and use an acclimation box

I got the second convict I tried at about an inch, it was in a coral tray with a one inch purple, it had five fin / tail splits when I got it!

do you still have either. I don’t recall any pics of a purple recently but I’m sure your tank has many wonderful mysteries

Never had a purple, never will, I lost both convicts, one of which was partially my fault, you need to go with your feelings but be prepared for something wanting to bite you in the bootie. ;)

if you still are curious look up the golden company, Harry Strickland. Idk. I’m an odd duck and find weird **** funny.

im not versed what coral are we looking at
That on top is an anenome. H Magnifica. It's a poor example of the species. These will likely be reclassified at some point.

Now it just looks like one of those frogs that hatch babies out of their back, after the frogglets peace out.
