Possbile to keep a pair of tangs?

I have a juvenile Orangeshoulder tang turing adult and was wondering if anybody has kept multiple tangs of the same species in the same tank.

has a lot to do with tank size and the species. Pairs are very uncommon due to the fact that tangs form a hierarchy in the wild. Two fish means one may constantly try to dominate the other while several disperses the aggression.

It would be interesting to get my hands on this reference:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?...ogamy in marine fishes. Biol. Rev. 79:351-375

It is the reference cited on FB after stating that powder blues are monogamous.
