That tang looks rough, and will eventually need a new home.

Those things get massive.
 
Post #3 in this thread told you that same thing. :)


As for crushed coral substrate - it's fine. It's just like any substrate.... if you do it wrong, you'll have issues. Keep good flow and keep it clean. Problem solved. If ANY tank has build up of junk in the substrate the owner isn't taking care of it correctly.

Lmao!!!! I see it now!!!!!! Kinda got lost in all the other info!!!!! lol

Well lets see. Maybe elmo was stunted by a previous owner. You definitely have some time to get him fixed up...and that will take months. You being here and asking questions shows that you are legitimately interested in the well being of the fish, Im not concerned...just trying to warn you. I have dove with sailfins in hawaii that were the size of briefcases when they were fully opened up. They get big.

Yep, but it's growing. MFK didn't even have a marine section when it started back 6 years ago.

+1...I also feel as if we answer every question that is asked...a lot of the other sites will just blow you off if you are not a member of the "good ole boys" club.
 
He's looking a lil better but not much!!!!
Im going to get him some vidos the afternoon!!!!
I'll go downstairs and take a new pic in a min!!!!!
