Yellow Tangs... SIZE?

[coralbeach]

I have a huge Yellow Tang. Just wondering how big everyone elses is that may have one.
How big can they get?

I would post this in the Fish Discussion forum, as Yellow Tangs aren't aggressive, like sharks for instance. I have seen one that is 7 inches in diameter. That's the largest I've seen.

I had a yellow tang that was 5 inches, How big is yours. In the wild they can be 8 inches but probably larger than that sometimes.
