I have to say, it's interesting how many different opinions on this animal are out there. Some sources say it's difficult to obtain and expensive, others say it's easy and cheap, some say it stays small, others say it stays small for an Acanthrus sp., still others say it gets huge for any tang. Some say it's ugly, and some say it's stunning. I've also found a few sites that say it's more difficult to keep than popular tangs, such as the regal or the yellow. I'd like to know how often these guys actually are kept, as it seems to be a lot less than many other tangs. Regardless, I will continue to less you folks know how it goes.
