Definitely a Naso, possibly a Blue Spine or a Unicorn.

Default Thanks,
OK....BAD MOVE ME... BAD MOVE...

Now, Do these tangs grow fast? I need it's services but not its side. Any recomendations for a fish that will do the same but will be 28 gal. compatable?

The current tang in question... how hard are they to re-sell?

Thanks,
Harpo

I never did. I have a fairly new tank (6.5 months) so i don't want to risk hurting someones blenny. I was advised by my LFS that the tang I got would be ok for a year in my tank. True??.... unknown! lol!

Definitely not, in a year they can grow 6 inches or more. I would post him up for sale ASAP

Buy a lawnmower bleeny to help with your algae issues.

How long before I should I wait until I get rid of my Unicorn Tang? They grow fast? I don't want to hurt him/her.

What would be an acceptable price?

Thanks,
harpo
