I got bored and went to the LFS and saw some beautiful tangs and thought... I wonder what sort of tangs R2R has to show off. Moorish Idols are excepted as well

Ctenochaetus binotatus. Yes this is the same fish with different patterns, the first one is his regular pattern, then the second was him going at his reflection in a mirror and the third was an unknown cause.

Glad you changed your mind!
Yeah, I don’t usually enjoy tangs as they pace around but if they don’t do that they can look stunning.
I’ve seen a show size Sohal before and when I say it was a stunner I’m not lying.

I saw a 16 in Vlimingi Tang think I spelled that right at my LFS yesterday
Vlamingiis are beautiful as mature males. I’d absolutely love the tank size for a 16 inch male.

They had it and... Yellow,Blue,Purple and more tangs, Moorish Idol, and CBB. those were the main fish and it was by my guess 700-1000 gallons. This is all at Kona Reef Az in Chandler near Costco

I take back all I said about tangs being not so nice to look at. The colours on them are stunning, especially the Powder Browns.
i love the powder browns but my first tang ever and all time favorite is the yellow tang , iam coming back to the hobby in few weeks and just learned about the ban on yellow tangs :(
