    Jason,

    He is a beauty...!!!

    My tank is "full-up" for time being...but this guy will be top of list (after pair of citron clown gobies) when it is determined that environment will support him...

    Thanks for sharing this gorgeous creature with us...

    How about some "personality" traits..??

    Om

    Took me 2 year to get a good photo of him.
    him and my Bicoloured Blenny are best friends they spend a lot of time together.
    He does chase the chromis from time to time but there has been no nipping.
    Leaves the clowns alone

    If you stick to your plan for upgrading I think a Juvinal would do OK for a while. Or you could just wait for the 300 then you could have a number of Tangs with out problems

    Man what a beauty! :eek: 8)

    I LOVED my Power Brown back in the day. Really one of my favorites too. A pretty mellow tang as far as Tangs go too.

    NICE!
