Aren't you afraid of your tang to get ich? I have a 35 Gallon tank, with 2 clownfish, 1 blue damsel, and 1 Coral Banded shrimp, got around 3 soft corals in there , i do water changes once a week and got pump and protein skimmer.
Honestly, my LFS has a beautifull tang, small tought, its a dark yellow but has big white circles around hes spine, wich i would love to have in my tank.

Im curious, how long have you had the sailfin tang? didn't you have any problems with him?

no m8 ich is something u have to life with if u keep fish all fish have ich its just tangs r a higher risk fish than other if u can keep stress levels down than ich shouldn't be a problems. most tangs get stress spot when they go into a tank u just need to get them eating. i rehome the sailfin bout 2 months ago. i had him for bout 9 months i think the only problems i had with him was bout a week before i rehome him he started nipping my corals and tail whip ans bite my starfish other than that he was a great fish i could hand feed him. that tang sounds like a whitecheek tang. one of the best tangs is a yellow tang imo. i got a yellow tang after i rehome the sailfin tang
