What are your comments and concerns on this stocking list for my 90g SPS dominant tank.

1 Regal Angel

1 Purple Tang

1 Powder Blue Tang

1 Flame Hawkfish

1 Male Squarespot Anthia

1 Yellow Watchman Goby

Pair of True Percula Clownfish

total of 8 fish

I think you'd be okay except you have too many tangs. You probably don't want more than 1 in a 90g.

I agree with cwklinge. The only other comment I have is if your tank is newly set up (didn't say in your sig) or if you are pretty new to sw - like me - the powder blue tang can be a little finicky and more difficult to keep. On the other hand it is one of the prettiest fish on the market.

Two tangs can be done, IMO, but not those two. Both are really aggressive. I don't think I'd even keep a PB and a purple in my 180.

Maybe a Kole and a Yellow?

if it was me. I would take the powder blue and regal out of the mix. otherwise looks good. if you wanted two tangs you could go with a kole tang along with the purple. Or yellow with the kole tang. the regal and powder blue are two of the hardest fish to keep and would be hard to keep happy in a 90. just my thoughts.

The PBT wont do well long term in that tank.

what are some colorful alternatives for the PBT and the Regal.
i would like the alternatives two be from the same family, Tangs and Large Angels.
