Tang???s

Every situation is different. I usually try to get a feel for how aggressive the Zebrasoma is before mixing them. I've mixed Scopas with other Zebrasomas with out any problems, so it surprises me to see Scott Michael describing a Scopas as the most aggressive of the Genus.
I currently have a Black, Purple, and Yellow in the same tank(lg tank) and they school together. It's only been a couple months but so far so good and the contrast of these 3 fish are amazing. I've also had a Yellow Scopas tang with a Sailfin and Lg Purple Tang together. And just this week a guy requested a Purple Tang with a Trio of Yellow Tangs for his 220. I've got them all in a 48x24x10 tank and so far so good. This was the Purple tangs home for a few weeks before I added the three yellow. They are smaller sized.

Okay well I gonna rule out the sailfin for sure. Leaning towards a foxface there was a really cool one at ARC today...sadly I cant recall which one it was though. I failed to get "his" name as well. Seemed like he knew what he was talking about.

I found my tomato clowns to be far more aggressive then the scopas.

Thinking about a Doliatus rabbit fish. I believe I have seen them at SWP looked super cool under the blues. Anyone have experience with this fish?

Thinking about a Doliatus rabbit fish

IME Foxface species are "good" choices while (in general) the Rabbitfish species have an unsatiable appetite and are prone to eat desirable things (including corals). The most destructive fish (to corals) I ever kept was a gold spotted Rabbitfish. I've never had a problem with Foxfaces.
The snout on a Foxface is narrow to allow the fish to eat algae growing among coral. I would choose a type of Foxface.

One surgeon fish is all that's needed for a 90 g but if a second surgeonfish is the goal, I'd go with a one spot Foxface( Siganus unimaculatus ) or a smaller bristle tooth, like Ctenochaetus strigosus( Kole ) or Ctenochaetus tomini (Tomini /flame )
