Has anyone kept a Powder Blue Tang successfully?

Mine was eating frozen food in the store before I bought it, so I wouldn't be too much help on that score.

I have toyed with the idea of adding another tang, but can't bring myself to do it. I tried a foxface once, and that ended in disaster. I was recently thinking about perhaps a shoal but I would want to remove the PBT first and then add them back together. I don't think I have the guts to try it.

Why was the foxface a disaster?

Because it got slaughtered before I could do much about it. The tank pounced immediately, so I fed again, then turned all the lights off and the lights in the room. Dead foxface the next morning.

Geez. What went after it? Tangs?

I guess my follow up question in a couple months will be how I can remove him In the meanwhile, I'll let him get nice and fat off the green pastures.

My powder blue won't touch flake. That worried me somewhat. But it is a pig with nori, I feed the tank a sheet twice a day. The other tangs are a YT, a Chevron and a Naso. What my PB loves is the mysis soaked in vitamins and garlic.
