which is a better reef fish,yellow tang or atlantic blue?

[kevensquint]

Hi, for the last 20 years, I've always kept the common YT and I really find them good in all departments. Now I have one place left in my sps reef and its gonna either be the YT or an Atlantic blue. ( there are no tangs in this system) .If anyone has had both or at least the atlantic blue. IYO, are they equivalently hardy, peaceful ?...generally good tank fish? Size aside, thats not an issue in this tank .Thanks

Depends on size of tank blue tangs can get pretty big .. Yellow tangs can be the devil cant beat the bright color .. Blue tangs are hit and miss as wise as hardiness little ones are rather hard to adapt imo have even caught my own ..
