+1, Grows fast, ich magnet. I have a 210 gallon tank and with in a year the guy has double in size and almost out grown my tank. He still has ick till this day.
Just be prepared for ick, but don't freak out, just feed it well and it will fight it off by itself.
IMHO its gonna out grown your tank in no time. Think powder blue of yellow tangs.

Picture a plate in your tank. That is the size your tang will get. They grow surprisingly quicklly. They are very active, swimming to and fro all the time and that is why they, and almost all tangs, require large tanks, six feet, so that they have the room to swim.
Thank you for asking about it's care but in the future, in the interest of the fish you are considering buying, it is much better to ask for advice from reefers here before you buy.
Good Luck.
