QM has had them, so places that use them can get them.
Thanks! My LFS does use them and is going to try and order one for me!
Edit : Yikes they said about $500 with their normal mark up! I guess I'll wait a little longer.

Which type of wrasse that is the least jumper?
Wow, I wish the one I saw in my LFS is as bright red as this. I need this in my tank
Do you know what kind of algae it is? With the urchins, snails, andbhectori you have avgood smattering of algae eaters. If there is an algae in the tank that those guys don't eat, then any of the proposed species likely won't either.
is it only algae control for whichbyou want the tang or you would love to keep the species ?
My Whitetail has been a model citizen so far and does not stop grazing.
I have had a Purple Tang which did present any problems with my wrasses which included Cirrhilabrus, Paracheilinus, Macropharyngodon and Halichoeres species.
My recommendation would be to add a few emerald crabs. None of your wrasses will eat them, and they are one of the best behaved crabs out there. Or a seahare, the single best algae eater.Thanks for the input everyone.
It is just normal run of the mill hair algae. It mostly annoys me where it sits in between coral, and when pieces come loose and get stuck in my gorgonians. If mostly inverts should be able to do as good as a herbivorous fish, I might opt to boost their numbers a bit and see if getting more coverage will give me better results.
I have nothing against tangs, but no great attraction either, so would be mostly a functional choice. Given the choice I'd much rather add another wrasse, or some other interesting smaller cryptic fishes.
I had a look at Ctenochaetus flavicauda, which I know as the Whitetail Bristletooth, but personally cannot justify the cost. Good to know that members of the genus can be well behaved if I were to go this route.
Unfortunately a Purple Tang, while a very striking fish, get much too big for my liking, and will look out of place with my mostly smaller fishes.

Ug! That sucks! Sorry.Sad day for me lost the diamond tail.
Good luck.Look like it was internal parasites will try again this week.
