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.

+1, even at a small size I'm sure a unicorn tang would need more swimming room than a 28g.
It sure is a cute little thing, I love the personality of unicorn's.

I might be in the same position. My tank is only a 65 galon and I also have a tang. What will happen if I don't move it to a larger tank?

Exclamation Name To my HELP NEED TO ID QUESTION
So, The fish has been Named "Lady Amouthia" from the movie "The Last Unicorn". Thought it was fitting for my situation and the size of my tank.

Thank you all for your help and some very valuable tips and information!

Reefers rock!

Thanks!

Harpo
