Tangs are herbivorous. As Hara said, I think you'd be OK with any of them. Some tangs get really large though so be sure you have enough tank to accomodate them as adults.

What are the dimentions of the tank?
Ideally tangs should have good amount of swimming room. A 105 gal tank should be fine for a tang or two.

What Tangs are the easiest to keep and will get along with shrimp and crabs

I have read that you can't put 2 tangs together or else they will fight.

gt i think tangs are reef safe it was a very old book which is why the ugf was recommended i think the only real problem with the tang is having a tank big enough and not mixing them with their own kind.

introduce them at the same time. Their bodyshape is similar and you can expect some scuffling for awhile.

together?? i mean they are both of similar shape.. there's always a chance for fighting.. try to go for fishes that are different in shape and size.. i think you can put them together though if you introduce them at the same time..
