So, my hippo tang has decided it's addicted to open brain. So, time for Dory to go.
What's a good "colorful" reef safe fish that others enjoy? I thought maybe going with a Yellow Tang? Are they just as likely to go after LPS?
I've currently got 2 false perc clowns, a diamond goby and a mandarin dragonet.
Thanks

are you feeding your tang seaweed at least once a day? my rabbitfish liked to nip at corals until i started supplementing. i hear tangs will do the same.

I actually ran the seaweed experiment yesterday. I left some nori out all day and when I came home from work the tang had a nice full stomach. I took the strawberry basket that I was covering the brain with off and within 5 minutes the tang was nipping at it.

How about some anthias? Very colorful and, depending on your tank size and the species you can keep multiple ones.
Tank size and tank length determine what species to recommend.
