Ive done searches nothing of value comes up, Im looking for information on Clown tangs, also called Blue line tangs (I think). Anyone keep these? They get large (11 inches), most likely aggressive, difficult to keep. Is that accurate? Any other info anyone can give me? Feeding info, size of tank, compatability with fish, any other info would be much appreciated. Thanks for any responses.

Your info is correct. They get to be real bullies. I would say no tank smaller than a 180. They get to 15". [yes i am the tang police!] As far as tankmates, thats tough I would think a Larger Wrasse, Lunare or Maybe the Dragon might be okay. I would keep a light load, less fish to bully. Always add most aggresive fish last

I agree with KIMHARDIE, the biggest downer on this beautiful looking tang is that they can become extreme terrors and I understand that they are extremely sensitive and don't stand to much of a chance in the home aquaria.
