Anyone with a clown tang
I was at my LFS and saw a clown tang for sale I asked about it and he did not recomend it because they are suseptable to ich a lot. Does anyone have one and if so what's your take.

Re: Anyone with a clown tang
Animals of two different species (like clownfish and tangs) cannot breed, HiBye. That's what makes them different species. There are a few exceptions, but those only include very closely related animals like donkeys and horses and dogs and wolves.

Re: Anyone with a clown tang
Most tangs are more susceptible to ich than other fish. Although I have not heard of the clown tang not being recommended for this reason. I'm also thinking, if you wanted to buy it, and the LFS didn't recommend it, then why did they have that fish for sale in the first place? I don't think stores should sell animals that have poor survival rates in captivity in the first place. But like I said, I have not heard this about the clown tang. If your tank is established and has been healthy for a while, I don't see why not go for it. Just quarantine it first and minimize stress. Same you'd do for any other fish.

Re: Anyone with a clown tang
It's a clown tang. That's a real type of tang.
