Wonderful! Thanks for that. I love to watch Tangs in the open ocean. They seem to be having such a good time. Makes me feel guilty sometimes.

thanks guys.

after seeing how big these naso tangs get in the wild, i cant imagine a tank large enough to actually house one comfortably. they should require at least 1000 gallons fully grown

We were just in Maui this spring and were doing some snorkelling around the Fish Bowl area and saw some huge Yellow Tangs. No lie, these guys where at least 12+" long and were probably about 1.5"-2" thick. I've never seen them that large, it was absolutely amazing.

Are you going to Maui at all? Visit the "Fish Bowl" if you are. It might be closed to the public still, but you can still see some pretty awesome fish and coral in the general area. Also, the dolphins like to hang out there in the evenings.

Oh and I forgot, if you're in Maui, the Molokini Crater is a must see. It will blow you away the colours of the coral there are amazing. Google, "Molokini Crater"
