One of the big problems with achilles (after you get past the poor shipping record ) is getting them to adjust to captive life, eating prepared foods is one of those things the tang is going to have to adjust to...many won't adjust and they die . Having 3 other tangs in the tank won't help either
You are right. I was thinking of the Naso Tang. Achilles are very difficult to keep.

Sal. Make sure you you have your quarantine tank extremely well oxygenated. Throw in a bubbler and place a power head near the surface.
