Hello -

Wanted to share a couple of pictures of my tiny pacific blue tang. See the size of the algae clip for reference!

Regards.

schmidt01 · 09/03/2008, 10:45 AM

Awww... it's so cute!!!

SHOmuchFUN · 09/03/2008, 10:46 AM

Since this is a great collection of tang-keepers, I figured I'd come straight to the source.

Does anyone have a tang that you have witnessed to eat hair algae, most specifically derbesia (not to be confused with bryopsis)?

I don't know specifically what kind of hair algae, but I can vouch for the flame fin tang (tomini) for being a hair algae eating machine.

My new tank was cycling and I had a massive bloom, and between the tang (and rabbit fish) the tank was completely turned around in 2-3 weeks.

Here he is eating off the wall:

As you can see, it was bad. Maybe one of these pics will help you pin point if this is the right kind of hair algae you need help with:

Very nice tangs here everyone. Here's my scopas. A very underexposed fish imo. I just decided to be different

Skunkbudfour20 · 09/10/2008, 11:21 PM

Heres mine...

tank is a 155 bow with 125 gal sump, precision marine bullet 3 with a panworld 200ps pump, 350 lbs lr in display, 300lbs rubble in sump 6000gph turnover

Oh, can I play along? Tangs are by far my favorite fish and the reason I got into the hobby.

My camera skills aren't the best, but I'm trying to figure out all the buttons on my xti.

My blue hippo:

My late sohal:

This fish was a very reluctant purchase, but I watched it sit in the store for about 5 weeks. It ate very well, but kept losing weight. I had it about a year before I lost it.

Not a great shot of my Tomini:

And finally, some of them together:

michika · 09/13/2008, 10:19 PM

A chance shot from today. I was adding a few new SPS colonies, and the Vlamingi was hiding beneath a rock shelf. The change of colors this fish displays from feeding, to grazing, and then again to night time colors are amazing.

that is amazing Catharine--plus it helps that you are a ace photographer

michika · 09/14/2008, 08:11 AM

Lol! I love this thread, and thought of it as soon as I'd snapped it.

Aquarist007 · 09/14/2008, 09:09 AM

I posted the picture on the tang blog--thanks again for posting it

I love the reef setup--do you have a full tank shot?
Its something I am considering for a 220gal upgrade.
The disadvantage of the back reef is that fish can hide behind it ot much--and one of the joys of reefing is watching the fish in action.
I'll post a full tank shot of my below
