Well I have read contradicting things about a few Acanthrus Tangs. So I would like to get some personal experiences with these tangs.

Powder Brown Tang (Acanthrus Japonicus)
Lemonpeel Mimic Tang

Ringtail Tang (Acanthrus Blochii)

I've had an Orange Shoulder tang for about a year now. Very hardy fish- great algae browser. It grow very fast- when I got it it was tiny (maybe 2") and I'd say in another year it will be too big for my 150g tank. Like a lot of tangs it's fairly aggressive towards other fish, especially blennies.
