The Oceanic Institue has been working on breeding yellow tangs now for the past decade and just now were able to get a "few" to live long enough to drop and start acting like fish. I wouldn't hold your breath in having success breeding tangs. After all they are a institution with extremely qualified and smart people working on this and they just now after 10years can claim success

While I in general agree that it is likely difficult, I do not believe institutions are generally doing better than highly motivated hobbyist.
There are many examples where hobbyist have led the way.
So I wouldn't be discouraged trying.
Also sometimes ignorance is bliss.
