    I have been told time and time again they are one of the worst angels to put in a reef tank... not sure thats true but I have wanted one for sometime and everyone has told me not to get one.

    Hate to say it but you might want to pass on it... I had the same feeling after I did my research. Still looking for that yellow fish and no I don't want a yellow tang!!!! There is a Tang that mimics the look of the lemon peel but it won't hold the yellow color its entire life if I remember right it changes to a brown!?!? I did lots of research trying to locate jusst the right fish. I am in need of one more fish!!

    I think it is called a "yellow mimic tang" but not 100% sure about that - and I had one for several years - very peaceful and reef safe....

    I'd take a good look at both the Canary Blenny and Midas. They have brilliant colors and lovable personalities, as far as fish personalities go that is.
