Honestly, in a tank that size, you're best off going with a Kole Tang or a Yellow Tang. The Lavender Tangs are not part of the Ctenochaetus (bristletooth) family. They are actually part of the Acanthurus family (the same faimly as Powder Blue, Achilles, etc...). If you must have a tang, go with the Kole or Yellow. Personally though, I think 60 gallons is too small for any tang.

A tomini was recommended but I have not seen one locally. Would a purple tang be OK in a 58G for a while?
