Ok, so Billy Idol is gone and I want to replace him with another big fish. Question is....tang or angel?

I've always wanted a Scribbled Angel, but I'm afraid it may cause problems with my Regal. And well, my Regal is my main priority. I wouldn't mind another tang, but it can't be a large tang that grows a foot. I have a purple tang that is pretty wimpy and a yellow tang that is somewhat chill, so I want to say I'm not too concerned about aggression by them. I want to stay away from Zebrasomas because I already have two and that would seem like asking for trouble.

So what are my options? I'm not on a budget, but I'm certainly not spending $2,000 on a gem tang (I wish!).

Thoughts are appreciated!

Powder Blue or Achilles, are the only real choices.

Mark, I have a 150g with 4 foot dimensions. You think a powder blue would be comfortable? They have one at Diver's den. I hear they can be pretty aggressive. As for the achilles, I don't feel comfortable housing him in my tank. I have decent flow, but not ideal room. Give me your thoughts on the powder blue. I owned one for a brief period, but it died. It was straight out of the LFS. However, I have a lot of faith with Diver's Den.

No. No more Idols. Haha I'm over them. I gave him the best life I could. I want something with less potential to eat coral and something that will thrive long term.

Powder blues are ich magnets. And they are aggressive to anything added after them that has any body shape vaguely familiar to theirs.

But they are beautiful. Stunningly beautiful

Mine came from lfs and I think I have had it for a few years at least

Ty, I'm about to post a video in a bit. Got lazy took it with my phone just going to edit I slightly and post on youtube. Will post another hybrid for sale once I can catch it from my display too. Total instigator, smaller than the other 3 achilles left as I already took one out but still instigator galore. This guy may make a good candidate as he is about 3" possibly 2.75"
