sohal tang w/ clownfish?

[JN Reef]

Has anyone kept a sohal tang with clownfish?
I know that sohal's can get mean, but has anyone seen their behavior towards false percula clowns?

I found a small 3" sohal at the LFS, and I'm interested in picking it up, but I have a pair of false percula's in the tank already.

The Sohal shouldn't bother the clown as they're small. Sohal at that size, 3", aren't usually that aggressive but it will grow pretty quickly and then become a major problem in your tank.

Your tank, 180gal, is mostly to small for a 10"+ Sohal, which your will eventually become. Just be aware of this as a large Sohal will become a problem will keeping other tangs and some angel fish. So if you decide to add this fish make sure you take that into account as you'll a lot of people getting rid of one after it gets to large because of the problem it can bring.

I agree. I don't see it as an immediate problem, but in a problem that is coming.
