My LFS has an adult Dussumieri Tank about 12-14 inches and I have seen them in that size online for $500+
who has one and what is it like. I only have a Blonde Naso about 5-6 inches and from what I have read it will be fine.
I would like to see pics and also price paid just so I can get a good idea of it I am going to barter with him no way i'm gona pay what hes asking

Is it really a dusser? Palani and another tang are often mislabeled as dussers so make sure it's the right kind for the price, they are a nice looking tang, especially full grown.

Man for 500+ thats a lot I wouldn't spend that on a fish since they prone to get disease or anything.

If it has a white tail spine, it is a Duss. If it has a darker colored one, it is NOT.
Palani is the actual Hawaiian name for the Duss
, but the name was used in appropriately with the Mata, Bariene, Blochii and Xanthopterus species.
A 330 will be sufficient for a while, but be forewarned, they can grow to in excess of 20".
