I guess i was lucky 'cause i bought a scarlet skunk before the tang, and the minute he was introduced in the tank the skunk started to clean him. I didn't knew about this relationship. I discovered it it a BBC tv serie.
The scarlet skunk is the best buy i have. Pretty, usefull, and friendly. When i handfeed the shrimp, i have a manucure too.
:p

hey kahluazzz...what are you hand feeding your shrimp with?

i never target feed mine, i just make sure a little flake food goes their way when i feed flake, if i am feeding frozen a lot of times they will grab a little piece of something...i generally just rely on them to scavenge and get those bits of flake

I think most clowns are pretty pushy really, except skunks. I think it's one of the things people doing fresh to salt conversions forget when stocking, just how aggressive most salt fishes are compared to salt.
The only truly peaceful salt fish I can think of are gobies and some cardinals, and even then not to conspecifics in some cases.
