Interesting. Looks cool, stays small, easy to keep. Sounds like a perfect tang for smaller tanks. Order one and let us know how it works out Jay! ;)

Yeah I thought that it would be cool to get a show piece/different tang or angle for the 120 when it’s done.

That looks a lot like a juvenile unicorn so I'm concerned that 3-4in. is the shipping size and full grown it might be 12-15in.!!!

Oh..are they listing the current size of the fish? I assumed that was max size. Too good to be true.

The coloration is different, but looking at the scientific name, this guy might be what you've got there-aka Lieutenant tang

Good call, I'll have to look into this a bit more. The max. size and min. tank size or ok but if it turns tan/brown with age I don't think I want to get it, BUT if it’s a local color variation then I might just do it. I'll search the scientific name on fish base.
Thanks
