Need some help to ID this guy

[lReef lKeeper]

I bought this guy and was told he was a Vlamingi Tang. If you think that is what he is as a juvenial ... ask me what i paid for him.

Attachment 1715

That is a Vlamingi Tang he is just ****ed off. Nice tang though. Hope you have a big tank the one i had was about 14"

thanx purple, they are slow growers i have read so i will have plenty of time to upgrade my 55gal. I am hoping to go with a 250 - 300gal. in the not so distant future.

Bobby that is a good deal.
i thank id be able to trade Anthellia ever week as fast as it grows

[PurpleAardvark]

It is a kick as fish. I hope it is a male. Nice streamers, blue and gray. As for the growing part it took him 1 1/2 years to get that big. He started out about 3". Must have been all the crack and sea vegies I fed him :lol I have heard differenet growth rates on them. From the most part from what I have seen the grow fairly fast for a tang expecally if you have other tangs in your tank. Anyways killer trade you will be able to tell if he is a male around the 10" mark. Enjoy the tang i miss mine.
