What is your favorite tang?

I have a black tang now and thought about going with a yellow to make the color difference noticeable and pop. I talked to my GF about the idea since I planned to add one more fish to my tank before I put the BT in. She picked a Rusty angel, at least it's a model citizen for the tank.
 
Nice healthy Achilles are just incredible.
the Acanthurus maucileps / Freckled Tang is beautiful when you find the right one.
The Mimic Tang is another favorite.
I love my Sohal, just wish he wasn't so aggressive.
The Clown Tang is just as beautiful.
Purple Tangs are stunning as well.

Why couldn't they all just get along :-)
 
My Red Sea 'Fin, had him for 17 years now and still going strong.

Why hasn't anyone said a yellow eye kole tang? I love these I just got one off of DDs last week and he's amazing same family as the whitetail you have just without the white tail. Same markings and everything!
 
Hmmm, favorite tangs that I have kept, desarjini, purple, and regal. Also really like the Achilles, but have never had the gumption to try one.
 
I don't think there's anything more spectacular than an adult, healthy Achilles tang. Lieutenant tangs are also quite amazing as adults, very underrated IMO. Mine has started to develop some very nice long streamers - something I haven't really seen on many others. While they aren't as brightly colored as some of their relatives, the gray/blue with solid black markings and color changing behaviors is very interesting to see. Purple and black tangs are also amazing, but sadly I haven't had the opportunity to pick up a black tang yet.
 
I know they are a "typical" tang that you see in a lot of tanks, but the Yellow Tang is my favorite. I have a Blue Regal, and a Yellow in my tank, and while the Regal is beautiful, there is something about that Yellow Tang that just pops.

They're ugly sorry. Nothing about them attracts me. Even Tomini tangs look better.
