Yeah - I have a big enough tank - just not a big enough q tank. I think that Wendell got one in at OA as well recently and I was so tempted to give it a try but it would have to go into my 190 which has a Naso tang and Maroon Clownfish as well as 3 anemones and live rock so not much chance of treating if it got sick.

I quarantined mine in a 4ft, 55g tank with 2 hagen 802 powerheads and 2 maxijet 1200's. He had marine velvet when he arrived and had to be treated with copper but he made it through the 8 weeks alright.

He sure was happy to get into the 175g though

You should see Marie's Achilles in person. It's gorgeous for sure.

It's(Marie's Tang) unreal, soo much charactor. It cruises around the tank doing barrel rolls, and navigates in and out of the rockwork like a dolphin. Very cool fish. If/when I have a system large enough, I'll be getting one for sure. I'm building a 120 soon, I'm not sure if will be quite enough room.
Shaun.

OA has 2 huge ones right now (think they were sold though) and they are amazing. Anything short of 12 feet I think would be unfair to these particular ones - you can tell they need a ton of space to cruise around.
