Is my Yellow Tang lonely?

Is my Yellow Tang lonely?

Right now the Yellow Tang (hence forth known as ‘Lemon Head’) is in a tank with a ton of corals/snails/hermit crabs (which I know it could care less about) and 4 Blue/Green Reef Chromis, and a mated pair of black clown fish.

Lemon Head swims between the Chromis (who just do their own thing chooching around the tank) and the mated clowns (who more or less just spend all day playing grab *** in the anemones) and then time alone nibbling at tank herbs.

Is Lemon Head lonely? Lemon Head isn’t schooling full time with the other like specied fish but seems to move in and out of the groups. None of the fish are fighting and everything seems totally fine … but is Lemon Head happy being the only Yellow Tang in the tank? Is there a fishmate I can get Lemon Head that Lemon Head will have fun with?

(I didn’t use any he/she/it stuff so as not to **** off the millennials and/or force gender or feelings on Lemon Head … for all I know Lemon Head might identify as a ‘Golf Club’, or a ‘Ritz Cracker’, or a ‘Female Yorkshire Terroir’) … cuz I <3 Lemon Head.

Thanks Peeps.

Yes.

Most folks that keep them only have one. In fact, they don't tolerate other tangs very well, unless it's a large tank.

Tank size?

IT is probably just fine by itself... unless you have a pretty decent sized tank it might kill other tangs you try and put in there. the millennial thing was spot on too. maybe your fish identifies as one of those evil black rifles. ew evil rifles

Seems to be a 40B.

lol. I will now identify myself as a Ritz Cracker.

A 40 is tiny for a Yellow Tang. It might work for a little while but then will be problematic later.
