will one Banggai be too "lonely" in a 50 gal?

[Uhu]

I recently posted a query on adding several Banggai's to my 50 gal reef tank already with an Ocellaris clown pair and an orchid dotty.

Since I want to avoid any fighting btwn Banggai's, I am now considering going with just one Banggai, but am concerned that it may not fair as well alone in a community tank.

Anyone have experience w/ a solo Banggai?

Hmmm..never asked my solo cardinal but seems to be doing just fine. My yellow tang is bestest of buddies with it since my cleaner shrimp disappeared 6 months ago. I think the tang just likes to feel the fins of the cardinal against it now. Tang will also use my cleaning stick for the glass ( wish he didn't) and fingers or hands for a free rub. Funniest thing I have ever seen. I try to discourage the tang from doing this with the stick or my hands though...can't be good for it IMO

BC's IMO are to be kept alone, or in a pair, but not more than a pair. One should be fine

Be careful. If you have two males, they will fight to the death!

Thanks for the replies; I will likely go with a solo tank-raised Banggai.
