    yeah, FOR SURE have a cleaner shrimp with your tangs. The cleaner shrimp will clean the tangs; highly important considering you have a powder brown tang; who are easily diseased. CLEANER SHRIMP is necessary IMO.

    cleaner shrimp or fish like a cleaner wrasse will help out with fish hygeine
    but they won't pair up like a goby and pistol shrimp

    neon gobies I believe will also clean tangs.

    I had a cleaner wrasse that I think was doing more harm than good. He was constantly trying to clean my tangs, even when they didn't want to be cleaned. He was fast enough the tangs could never get away from him, or chase him away long enough.
