nice tang bro!

They had it as a scopas tang and I think so far that is what it is. It is one of the abberrant tangs. Sometimes they come in with rare color patches. You can find several floating around in the hobby and they all look different. I love these fish. I will post pics when i get him in. Its cool for me to get stuff like this. I love this hobby and it will always be a hobby to me no matter what. I always get excited when corals or fish are coming in the mail lol. Thanks for all the kind words.

You may be kept waiting a while longer...this thread is from 2008. :-)

I know this thread is old but the tang should live for more then 20 years and @EyeCatchingCoral is still an active member here. We could still get an update.

We had the tang for about 2 years but then we sold it to one of our customers at the time. It kept most of the yellow color but lost all of the blue color in its face after a few months. I think back then we posted several pictures of it on our website but they seem to be long gone. We had it in a huge fiberglass raceway coral system so it was not an easy fish to photo.
