Orange shoulder tangs and mimic tangs are both yellow as juveniles, but as they grow into adults they take on a very different look (after a couple years). If you definitely want a yellow fish, a foxface is a great choice.

Ditto on the foxface...but I think the Yellow Tang would be fine, they are not the same Genus.

that yellow wrassed did look cool, foxface being posiness and me always doing something in the tank is maybe a bad idea, you guys think the two tangs would be ok though huh? It would suck bad if I lost my hippo.

just the spines are venomous on the foxface, really nothing to worry about
but IMO, yes the 2 tangs should go together
