A couple guys in WRS have had their chevron's for a while now... Paul Law's is huge, and jet black now. prugs has one as well, getting darker every time I see it. I agree, treat it like an achillies, there WILL BE parasites, and there WILL BE QT needed.

Other than that, I dont get why people like them so much. The juvi form is the one people like so much and other than that, they arent exactly the nicest tangs... they are bristletooth after all. They are expensive, hard to acclimate/adapt, and for what? A tang that turns black (okay, with sort of a pinstripe that is cool, but still).

Kind of like longnose/black sailfin tangs... Why would you pay $800 for something that has NO color at all... its just unique. I bet if it was $1500 and green like algae, people would want it too...lol.

Id suggest other tangs before this one. Mimics, for instance, are perhaps the most overlooked tangs in the whole industry.
