I was wondering if anyone has successfully kept a Sohal Tang in a reef system with a Regal Tang. They are different families, but I hear that the Sohal Tang is rather aggressive toward anything he considers to be competition for food. Would he go after a Regal Tang if the Sohal was the new kid on the block? How big do they get in captivity. A guy at the LFS reported that they can reach better than a foot in the wild, but do not reach such proportions in home aquariums. Never heard of that. Anyways, I always enjoy hearing about individual accounts with these fish. Thanks in advance for any help.

Greetings all,

I assume that a Sohal Tang will be ok. So I went out and bought one the other day that I had been looking at for about 3 weeks. Got him last week and he gets along great with everyone in the tank, even the Regal Tang. He is eating well and is SOOOOO pretty. I will post pics soon.
