    I want to add a tang to my 90 Gallon reef and I can't decide. This will be the only tang in the tank. After doing some research I have narrow it down to 2 tangs. I can't decide between the 2 and I was hoping I can get some opinions.

    Other tankmates
    2 OC.
    diamond goby
    clown goby
    six line
    2 cleaner shrimp
    1 RBT anemone

    Thank You

    The Kole Tang being a Bristle tooth Tang

    would be more of an asset in terms of housekeeping They will eat far more of any algaes growing on your rockwork etc
    than the powder brown will IMO
