I've also got a purple tang. He was one of my first inhabitants and has proven to be a good buy. He's not aggressive at all (my desjardinii is much more the bully). We used to have a fake coral wall covering the back of the tank and he somehow got in back there. I don't know how long he had been behind the wall, but it took me two days to figure it out. I didn't see him anywhere...not on the floor, not hiding in the rocks and he didn't come out to feed. We discovered to our horror that he was stuck between this coral wall and the glass. I eased him out , fixed the wall so that it couldn't happen again, and pampered him back to a full recovery. His right fin was completely missing and his right eye was cloudy and didn't look so
hot. But, he was hungry and was a fighter and has been healthy and happy for another year and half.

and yes, I use Nori as well...bought from the local asian shop.
