    The Tangs won't give the Blennies a second thought. The Yellow Tang will go after anything thats yellow and of any size. At least thats what I've run into.

    But, if my memory serves me, your tank is only 66 gallons, and not big enough for either Tang you are suggesting.

    Just pick another fish, try to stay away from the yellowish type.

    Re: yellow tangs and friends

    Maybe I explained it poorly. Dont' get one of like size and color, like a lemonpeel angel or such. I made the mistake of getting one like that and my Yellow went nuts. But the likes of Blennies and such are cool. Yellow Tangs are just goofy if you ask me, and finicky. In my experience those are harder to keep than a Hippo Tang.

    So like a Kole Tang?
    Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Kole Yellow Eye Tang
    That would work.
