I need to find a new home for my 4" yellow tang. He is very nice and healthy, never has had itch or anything. He eats mysis, brine shrimp and sheets of algea. Getting ready to set up a new 200 gallon mixed reef and don't want to put him in first to claim everything. 20 bucks or trade for frags- softies and or LPS.

If you can't find anything from someones tank, i'd highly recommend a Tomini tang. Mine is by far my favorite fish, and an incredible glass/rock cleaner.

Me four. I just got a tomini tang. I wanted just ONE MORE fish. He's cute, friendly, pretty, and one of the smaller sized tangs so it's great for bioload!

Nuunze - Beautiful fish, but I am pretty sure that that is not a Tomini tang. Personally I hink the Tomini tangs are that great looking. However, any bristletooth (Ctenochaetus) would be a good addition. They are great algae cleaner, stay relatively small, and are relatively peaceful. Good all around fish to have.

Here's a picture of a tomini tang from Live Aquaria

Not the cheapest to keep, but I am fond of the Chevron Tang.
