At what age do yellow tangs reach adulthood? This one must be at least 6 years old... I've only had a tang myself for the last 4 years so maybe someone else can answer that.
I did read the whole article and the thread that follows. Later he does admit that he will pass the tang along if it should show signs of decline or when his coral grows in a bit more and restricts too much of its swimming room. The pictures don't show much swimming room to me. But thats just my opinion.
I've known people in this hobby who claim to have more experience than that to do far more ridiculous things. Also, in his article he states that he still considers himself an amateur (like the rest of us).
What kind of message do you think these articles by Ultimate Reef and Nano Reef send to people getting into the hobby? That is where I see the problem. People who are being honored and those who have been doing this for decades should be setting a better example.
