My yellow tang took a nip at a newly glued-in frag and now has a piece of superglue stuck to his upper lip. I hope it comes off quickly and I don't have to drain the tank to net him.
Pretty sure that Tangs in general are among the "special" fishes. Believe it or not, Google yields a whole raft of results for "tang superglue".

Has anyone else experienced this?

One other thing I noticed about my purple tang in particular. It likes to eat fish poop. LOL

Too funny.

My stupid blue tang would constantly splash water when it was feeding time. I mean serious splashes and with rimless tank cleaning the front glass became a chore. So got rid of him on Marsh. Good for him a guy with a large tank got him.

I've got a fowleri tang (now named bubbles) who will go to the top of the tank and gulp air then spin around in circles blowing air out making bubbles. He does it to knock the pellets down :)
