Good luck with your new fish. I have tried them a couple of times in the past, along with convicts, and never been able to keep them more than a week. This particular clown had been eating before I got him and has continues to do so in the new tank. I've got my finger crossed! The are beautiful fish!

Thank you! Hope to add some corals soon and really dress it up. Water just isn't where I would like it to be before adding any corals.

great pics
AWESOME TANK
Thank you! The Sailfin has been great. Gets along with all and shares the cave he stays in on the right side of the tank. I knew he was large when I ordered him online, but I didn't expect it to be this big. I think that he is bigger than the Dussimer Tang I have in my 470....

The White cheeks reminds me of a Powder Brown or Gold Rim tang. This guy is still a little shy and spends a lot of time in the cave. I have to admit, the large Sailfin is my favorite in this tank..

Thanks Keith
You would think so looking at them...
Powder Brown Tang - Acanthurus japonicus
White Cheek Tang - Acanthurus nigricans
They must be closely related. I know I would have a hard time telling them apart...
