    Melisa, is the Gem Tang at FW or AA. If it's at FW, I could have Joe bring it with him when he comes out this afternoon. My display tank isn't plumbed yet but I could probably get my 20 tall set up pretty quick.

    It is at AA - in their display tank....they said if I wanted it, they would catch it...LOL! Not a chance for that happening in my tank.

    PS: Don't tell Joe I was at AA - LOL!!! j/k

    That is probably the most beautiful Tang I have ever seen....

    I want an orca! Maybe when I set up my 7,000,000 gallon tank...:p

    Our LFS had an Achilles tang for $499. Beautiful tang (Auburn colors, Bama). It was in there for months and then one day mysteriously died. The owner wasn't happy....

    Sounds too good to be true. I don't think I 've ever heard of a Jewel Tang for under $1000. Something north of of $3000 seems to be pretty common.

    Gotosleep, it's a different fish all together from the "gem tang" 150 sounds about right for the jewel aka mustard tang

    500 for an Achilles?

    It had better have been HUGE.
