Okay, I'm not looking to actually put a tang in a 60 gallon. I'm looking to do a clownfish tank and allow a BTA to take over the rockwork. I was wondering if there is any lookalike (nice, bright, yellow fish) that could go into a tank like this? I haven't been able to find any.
Yellow Tang in 60 gallon cube?

There are several dwarf angels that are bright yellow as well.

Are these safe w/ the BTA?
I know the dwarf angles are known for killing BTA (too bad, I really like the flame angels)

Some large angels may eat anemones, but I've never heard of a dwarf (centropyge) angel bothering a BTA.
A yellow wrasse should not have any problems with it either. SushiGirl is right - be sure your tank has a cover.
Yellow assessors are also nice, but I think they're sort of cryptic.

Bah - double post. Since I'm fixing this, I'll add that "yellow coris wrasse" is a common name that people use to describe Halichoeres chrysus. They're not actually coris wrasses, which are from a different family and get much bigger.
If you're researching on line, it helps to have the correct name.

Rssjsb is correct. Make sure you get the chrysus, though. There is another Halichoeres wrasse that is yellow with a white belly, those are known for killing shrimp. You want the one that is solid yellow with no white on it. On my phone so can't really search for the name of the other one. Well, I could but it's a pain LOL.
We have a chrysus, and while he's a nervous nelly, he's been fine as far as not bothering anything (except pyram snails, which was why we got him).

Please don't "trick" folks into looking at your thread; just an honest title will attract the right people. This is especially annoying if servers are busy and running slowly.
