Purple tangs are super sweet

[rayray]

Powder Red Tang, or PRT, or Acanthurus Rubersternon, is resistant to ich. But will quickly starve without gem tang eggs and does poorly under LEDs.

That's an old article. New research shows they thrive under "full spectrum" LEDs.

I've had three purple tangs and they were all the kings of the tank

My purple tang is all bark and no bite. My Sohal is the King and the PBT is the guard dog. When a purple is king he leads with violence unlike a confident Sohal that just flashes and chases till the new guy submits. Usually takes less than 2 minutes.

Kobe has been through two velvet annihilations, 1 black ich and 4 ich cities. With me now 4 years and with the previous owner 2.5 years. Cool fish!

What is the size of the PT, for $69? Also, the combination of the yellow and purple tangs is what makes each other's colors pop IMO.
