Does any one have a convict tang? How do they fair in a reef tank? Are they difficult to care for? Any help would be great. thanks Chris

I had one, died to to an infection brought in by fish from LFS that I did not QT, they are not very aggressive so add first, and decide what else you might add.

I've had one for 1.5years. Great fish. Has never bothered my corals. It has not been aggressive, model citizen. When I scrape my glass with a razor, it swims next to my hand and eats the algae I scrape off. Very active fish. Add nori daily to meet nutritional requirements, along with frozen food.
I see you have a blue tang and an imperator angel. Convicts are very passive, it may not fare well if your other tang and angel are aggressive.
Excerpt from Marine Depot Live-
One of the least aggressive of the tanks, the Convict Tang has the smallest of caudal spines. Can often get along with other tangs but is more of a target for any potential bullying.
