I've had one for about 2 months. Very nice fish.

I love my kole tang. Very personable, and does a great job picking at the live rock.

One of the absolute best tangs in the hobby, IMO, though sadly overlooked for more showy (and less ideal) tangs...especially in "smaller" systems. One of the few that will basically do rather well in 4' tanks, unlike others. Watch for mouth issues when selecting one. They do normally have large mouths with lots of bristle teeth (hence the name "bristletooth tang" derived from the genus name). But mouth damage is not uncommon.

I agree. Mine is so cute, he "wobbles" when he swims and looks like he's drunk. :hilarious
