Thinking of adding one of these guys, anyone had or have one? I've got a 120 gallon with a Blue Tang, Chevron, and Scopas.
 
Tough to find one in good shape but if you are lucky enough to get a healthy one they are hardy. Don’t buy a very small one unless you witness it eating well at the store. These aren’t a good fish to order online IME.
 
They’re relatively hardy and underrated IMO. They’re acanthurus tangs so they are disease sensitive— not as much as some of their cousins, however.
