I recently moved this pig to my 240 gallon reef, seems alot happier. I've had him for 4 yrs, very underated fish in my opinion.

he is about 7-8 inches and very fat. Sorry he's not for sale, I mainly feed him nori sheets and mysis shrimp twice a day. I also have a yellow and hippo tang that all get along great

dood, I didnt actually want to buy him....you fail to see the intraweb hypocrisies of it all. but thats an awesome fish. fo sho. congrats on the great specimen. as of now I just cant decide between a powder blue or brown for my tank, and your pic definately gets my vote for brown. another question: did your tang get ick at any time during its life in your display?

I bought this fish when it was about 4 inches and put it in qt for 1 month. I then released it into my 90 which was already home to a 7 inch hippo tang, needless to say in less than a day my hippo looked like it had been through a blender. I returned the powder brown to my lfs and hoped for the best but my hippo tang didn't make it
About a month later I returned to the lfs and to my suprise the powder brown was still available. I since decided that one tang was enough for my 90 gallon which I was planning on upgrading. I checked craigslist every day for about 4 months in search for a l80 gallon tank. Finally one day I found a 240 gallon full system with an extra tall stand for the perfect viewing height. I new this tank wouldn't last long so I called right away and couldn't believe I got it for $1100. The lighting alone was worth it.
