How do you communicate with Bay Bridge? I’ve tried here and via email and never get a response. I’m too far away to just go and take a look.

Thank you! It worked! They have Kole, Tomini and Convict tangs. They also offered up moorish idols. What do y’all think?

Yes, yes, no experience, and NO
Where are they moving?
I didn’t get any prices
Why an all caps NO to Moorish Idols? Just curious.

They get big, they are not reef safe and keeping them is marked for experts.

not reef safe? I thought they needed to be in a reef to eat pods and whatnot...

Pods have nothing to do with a reef or not.

I love this hobby lol
let me clarify my comment. What makes them non reef safe? From my reading they’ll pick at reef inhabitants, but maybe that would help keep them fed and be sustainable in a big established reef. I guess I’d consider that “reef safe with caution” rather than non reef safe like a big angel. Thoughts?

Ok, so my plan right now is to go to bay bridge this weekend and pick up two tangs. I’m leaning on a Kole and a Convict but it depends on their size. Chances are that they will be smaller than my powder brown. I will introduce them after lights out and will also place a mirror.
Any thoughts?

I haven't housed multiple tangs but been reading about it. One flag is having two of the same genus (Acanthurus). This post has lots of good insights:

Tang Aggression - Understanding and Combating So what's the deal with tangs? How do I keep them together? Why are they so aggressive and difficult to keep sometimes? It's a common discussion point. Some may dissent with what I have to share but I've never had less than three tanks running at a...
