Cute...yes...cute like a baby whale! Yes, definitely that is a vlamingi tang. (Naso vlamingi) Assuming that you don't starve him, he will be 10" within 8 months.

All the Naso tangs are sometimes referred to a unicorn tangs. This is because some of them develop unicorn horns (Naso unicornis, for example). N. vlamingi is also called the "humpnose"...while they don't get a horn, they do develop a rather bulbous nose.

Feb, 2008 (1-2")


Oct, 2008 (10") (This shot also happens to show N. elegans and N. unicornis in the background left and right)

Thanks for clairifying. We realize he's going to get big fast and hey, if or should I say when he outgrows the 230g it'll give me a reason to upgrade
