There is a really nice fish called the Achillies Tang. It is black with a bit of orange. They are supposed to be hard to keep though. I think the are vunerable to disease. They are beautiful though. I think the get very large too. You will need a large tank to house one.

There is the black tang also it looks like the yellow tang only totally black, I have seen them several times and are very cool looking. But at the price the LFS's are asking, you won't be seeing one in my tank anytime soon. I haven't pricd them online though

There was a store up near me that had one for a while. Must've been a good 6" for $350 i think. Slowly withered away in their 30l holding tank. Stupid ***3s keep bringing in powder blues and achilles. Might wanna call www.reefsplendor.com I know that's where that store gets its stock from.

Absolutely Fish (http://www.absolutelyfish.com/) in Clifton, NJ gets Black Sailfin Tangs on a pretty regular basis. I recollect they go for $250/350 depending on size. Suggest you give them a call before driving up there.

I don't know if anyone has had any success ordering online from Live Aquaria but they have the Black Longnose Tang (Zebrasoma rostratum) for $279
