    Does a yellow mimic tang count?? I have had it for a year and 3 months and it shares a 90g tank with a clown and 2 damsels. It is very peaceful but it has grown up enough not be pushed around any more :) It is always pecking at the live rock for bits of Algae and eats just about anything I put in the tank from marine pellets to flake and frozen.
    When I bought the tang it was about 1 1/4" long. It has since grown to about 4 1/2"
    This is a lousy picture with streaks on the glass and a flash bouncing off the tank but here you go.

    I have a Blue Hippo, Purple Tang, and a close cousin of tangs a Moorish Idol in my 120g long. I also have a Yellow Tang in my 75g reef. I'm finally getting a digital camera for Xmas and will post pic then. My Moorish Idol has been with me for 4 months now and is eating and growing like a weed.

    I used to have a 10" blond naso tang in my 120gal. Dont have any pics because back then digital cameras were like 2K$ for a 1/3 mega pixel, get my drift. But great fish, algae eater and great swimmer.

    I have a 3" yellow tang in my 55 that eats like food is going out of style and is extremely healthy. I don't have any recent pictures, but could shoot some tomorrow...yellows are really common.
