I Got a local shop to special ordere in a black longnose tang from a well known Mac certified wholesaler out of LA, got a good prepay/pickup on arrival price.(Landed cost plus 10%,$400) It said 'small', but I wasn't expecting it to show up with the body the size of a quarter. It was maybe an inch and a half from the tip of the nose to end of tail and it also had some deformities to its fins. Poor little guy died two weeks later and lived in my freezer for months so I could look at him everytime I fed the tank frozen food. Makes me think twice about ever ordering in my dream fish, a gem tang.
