beautiful fish. they, like other tangs, are really active swimmers and need a good current and large tank. i believe they grow to around 10". best of luck.

i think the biggest problem that people have with them is feeding issues, I think they feed on a certain type of detrious like from a yellow tang but dont qoute me on that, plus i think they have to endure a really long shipping process that is why they are considered expert only, ive never kept one but i think they are prob one of the nicest looking tangs
good luck

yeah, you should provide a good diet of greens. they're pretty hard to get on prepared foods, but try to get it on algae.
