i have one in my 150g aggressive tank,, hes pretty smooth, doesnt pick on anyone and doesnt get picked on. Hes about 4 inches long in with 4 triggers, 2 GSM, a lunare wrasse and a hawkfish (one of my most aggressive fish)

I have one, he is a great algae eater! He is part of my CUC, the lawnmower blenny can't come close to his ability. He is so sweet he doesn't bother anything at all.
He is a bit of a chameleon, when he hangs out in the rocks he gets darker in body and he hides really well, he was very shy at first, so it takes them about a week to start coming out to swim around.

I got him. He is in my qt right now. My lfs had him for about 3 weeks. I check by there all the time. I never saw any signs of ICH. That store is actually really good with their fish. I know its a tang so is this guy a ICH magnent like the others? Im thinking 4 weeks and then in the dt he goes.

I just got one too last week. He was shy for a day and a half, then went to work on my hair algea and he picks at the sand. I guess they have teeth that permit them to 'rake' the substrate.
Since my tank is new and only stocked with my older fish/rocks....I did not quarantine mine. He was at the LFS for a couple months and I have never gotten any parasites from them.
Anyways at the beginning of this week I noticed a white dot just above one eye...has not left yet. It might be a small nick in the scales....not sure...if it disappears in a day or so....then I will wait to see if I get more in a couple weeks!!!
He is the biggest fish in my tank and everyone gets along except for the poor yellow belly damsel. He is always getting picked on. I would love to move him to his third home, but doubt if I could catch him again!!!
Anyhow...love the Kole Tang and hopes yours does well.

Koles tend to be pretty hard and fairly resistant to ick as far as tangs go however a formalin dip and qt is always the way to go

No. They range from there to Aus and in between. The hawaiians are the best looking with the lines.
