I seen it as well, awesome specimen. Hopefully it goes to a good home with lots of 'room'.

That is my all time favorite tang and I would get one but I don't have a large enough tank to set up as a quarantine and these particular fish are just about guaranteed to get ich when stressed from moving.

I was sorely tempted when I saw it! It was so pretty! I was so beautiful!

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.
