Is your acclimation box big enough for a tang? Do I need to call the tang police?

Congrats on the great addition!

Great additions. I love them when small they look amazing.

Gorgeous looking tang! I'd try and score that sunburst anthias in the bottom right corner as well!

Edit: Thought I might like one in my tank as well, a little research reveals WOAH that price though!

Eating like it's his job! Awesome addition, Rev!

My system is too small for a batfish, Rev would be perfect hint, hint I have the perfect name too, Darth Vader

They can get pretty nasty over time, I've pulled several. Be cautious with other future additions, especially tangs.

With that said, they are stunners!

Guys we are paying way too much for our R2R service!

Congratulations Rev! I would love to have one (along with an Anampses femmininus). Maybe one day!

A LFS had one for quite awhile. It was a nice fish. They kept it in their big frag tank. It is closely related to the Sailfin tang and seems to be pretty robust. The fish I saw was nicer looking than the photos. I hope you enjoy your fish.

I had one many years ago when they were a lot cheaper. Behaves just like the other zebrasomas. Does fade a bit as it ages.

I have three different sizes and one of them could hold two!

It will be the last tang added.
