Which is less likely to get ick?

Hippo Tang (Regal Tang) or the Powder Brown Tang (the good one with the white blotch from the mouth to the eye).

I know the Hippo's are called ick magnets, but are Powder Browns just as bad?

Tangs in general can be quiet prone to ich. I dont think one is less prone to it as another.

If there is ich in your system, either is very likely to get it. Make sure your system is ich free, and quarantine all new arrivals.
