New addition: Purple Tang

My friend was breaking down there tanks, due to family. And I adopted this georgeous purple tang. Thought I'd share a few phone pics.

Also picked up a tiger pistol shrimp a week or two ago.

Thank you. I didn't realize, but purple tangs are getting hard to come by. At least that's what I heard.

Purple tangs only come out of the red sea, so populations are likely low. They are really cool fish, that one looks like it's a pretty good size

He is, bigger than my Vlamangi. I thought he was smaller. Man, adds a great color to the tank. I really didn't have purple tang on my list. But, she was worried he wouldn't go to a good home. Plus I got him for a $100, and they're selling for over $200. Hecate within 20 min of being in the tank, real happy about that.
