Hi all, I am thinking about getting a Achilles Tang, my research shows that is susceptible to a high risk of white spot and as it is quite an expensive but fantastic fish I am asking for views on this risk from anyone who has one.:confused:
 
It is definitely not an easy fish, but the most beautiful tang in my opinion. They are extremely prone to ich and velvet, so a solid qt protocal for all fish, coral, and inverts is essential.

They are also a very active fish that requires a lot of open swimming space and high flow. An 8' long tank is recommended.
