Yes. Beautiful fish. I think I want to make that one of the last fish I put in my 210. Good luck with him.

I have had pretty good success with mine. He's been in the tank a couple days and eating a lot from algae sheets. He's not eating anything else yet. I know they have a reputation for being aggressive but I haven't seen it yet. When he first went in my tank, my purple tang was being aggressive with him, but he got past that without getting overly stressed or sick.
I do know that they need a lot of room to swim and mine swims constantly. BTW, $27 is an unbelievable price. Mine cost $90 and I considered that a decent deal. :happyfish

yeah they owed me a favor!!!!....i have referred them about 5,000 in business, and there was a mix up with a shipment and the supplier sent them two for the price of one, so i was able to obtain it for 27 bucks, but im a little weary , as i have no experience with sohals, ive had/have blue regals, yellows, red sea sailfins, etc, but never a sohal, i really want one...still havent delved into triggers for sake of a harmonious community, so i figured it was time for a sohal and what a time it is, just curious again though, how do they do??

I don't find sohal's that difficult if you can get them on a good diet from the start. Just be careful with their aggression problem. They can hold their own quite well with triggers and puffers once they get established and settled in.
