The great big tang!

Anyone else seen/ or got a tang that’s grown this big in a tank?

He’s got to be about a foot nose to tail!
Got a photo? Wish I could see the video but my phone is dumb.

What a GREAT video! It swoops thru like a great white shark cameo! My blue tang is 8" and only a year and a half old (had it since quarter size) so expecting +18" blue tang eventually...
 
Dang! Is that tank 500 gallons? It (and that tang) huge!

The fish looks awesome!

Looks like a yellowfin tang. Known to grow ridiculously huge.
+1 to this, Acanthurus xanthopterus is one of many that are known to get over 1’ long (Potentially close to 20” I can’t remember how big they get from memory).
