How much are you willing to spend?

Corals?

Lots of live rock or only a little?

Interested in small, medium or big fish?

Easy, moderate or difficult to keep?

Answer those questions and we can go from there

I would probably go for either one or two of the smaller Zebrasoma sp. tangs (Yellow, Scopas or Purple).

I would also consider some bread and butter fish such as clowns and gobies etc.

However, I wouldn't hesitate to consider a couple of butterflies when your tank is 6-12 months old. 'Easier' species such as Raccoon, Vagabond or saddleback butterflies.

I would love to have 2 tangs , a yellow and a purple but how would they get along with each other in a 100 G tank ? could their be a aggression problem ?

My tank is roughly 110g and I have both a yellow and a purple

The yellow was already established when I added the purple and there was a hell of a lot of aggression from the yellow.

Everything settled down after the first week but there still is the occasional chasing between the two.

The purple ended up getting a bad case of ich but he pulled through. Fish from the Red Sea are extremely hardy and should easily pull through things like ich
