I've read varying estimates of size as well. I got the impression that they are one of the smaller Acanthurus species. They are also one of the mildest mannered (more timid/less aggressive) Acanthurus as well.
Beautiful tang. Too bad I made the mistake of trying to QT him. Lived about 2 weeks. Don't know if I'll try another, if I do, I don't know if I'll ever try to QT fish again. What a fiasco that was.
Quite frankly the list of fish I won't try just seems to be growing, and the list of fish I can still try are ... um ... Start of list: Amphriprion ocellaris. End of list. Yay hobby!
(Sorry, there goes that inside voice again.)
