Default Myka vs Valonia Round 672

I found a teeny tiny Kole tang today (for an outrageous price), so I bought him. I have been looking for a tiny Tang for my tank. I have tried everything else, and Tangs seem pretty fool-proof in regards to algae eating. He is picking at the rocks A LOT. So I have my hopes up! As you can tell he has a lot of work to do!

See what the tang police think of this one... *snicker* Tang police aren't bad on here, but I sure wouldn't post this on Reef Central!

Two years of battle too!! I must admit I haven't "pruned" it for 6 weeks. I'm going to do a big waterchange, and major pruning tomorrow. Just prepping the saltwater now.

Do you syphon them out making sure that the contents dont escape into the tank? I have a few in my tank but i am very careful with them and dont let them get too big. So far i seem to be winning the battle.

How big is your tank? I was really hoping to get a tang in mine ( it's only a 40 gal ) at least for a while since they take so long to grow up, I figured in the future I'd have to give him away......or upgrade!
