Just got a Red Sea Sailfin Tang. About the size of a 50 cent peice.

Cool fish....I just got one a little over a week ago, but it is a little bigger.

Very nice, I plan on adding one to my 90 down the road.

Gorgeous fish! GreenBay, I would also like to have one in my 90 - are they as aggressive as the yellow tangs? Is a 90 big enough for one of these guys?

I'm not tang policing anyone just informing.

Here is the information I retrieved from marine depot:
One of the largest members of the Zebrasoma family, the Zebrasoma veleferum or Sailfin Tang is one of the least aggressive members of the family and the most popular addition to marine aquariums industry wide. May show signs of aggression against other Zebrasoma, the Desjardin will most likely be harassed by other tangs (Acanthurus sp etc.). An excellent choice for controlling filamentous algae and is reported to even pick at Valonia bubble algae. Keep in a very a large tank as this specimen will reach 16 inches in length. Males and females can be housed together in very large systems.
