Questions about Mimic Tangs...

[The Shrimp X]

How aggressive are Acanthurus pyroferus?
He would be in a 75 gallon reef, with a pari of ocellaris clowns, some gobies, and eventually I might add a foxface...
Would I have to worry about the tang being to aggressive?

Well, they're all a little different in personality, but from all the one's I have come across, they're somewhere in between a Chevron Tang and a Sohal, that is to say, medium for a tang.

Should be fine in that tank up to about 6", then you'll want to move it into larger quarters.

Mine is fairly aggressive but he is the smallest fish in the tank and I think a lot of his displays are bluster. He mostly picks on the labouti wrasse but he wont back down from any of my fish. My tank is a fairly peaceful mix so I hope he mellows out a bit as he gets bigger. I should note that mine is in a 180 so I would imagine he might be a little more territorial in your tank.
