I think I saw a few power blue tangs at Big Als probably a week and a half ago. They are the size you are looking for. You can call them to see if they still have any left.

i have a 80 gal corner tank. I know i need a min 90 gal tank but my daughter really wants one. I figure if i got the smallest one possible until he was to big i could donate him. One fish store i talked to already said they would help me out

+1 on this as well. I refuse to let my kids or wife dictate what goes in my tank. Powder Blues are very hard to keep, most of the small ones brought in by most not all LFS do not survive long, same as some Blonde Nasos. I bought one from a LFS last yr, it only lasted a few weeks because it stopped eating. I now have a Powder Blue again but it came from a fellow reefer and is a good size
