    Just googled the Blue Caribbean Tang.. The Juvenile pic on LiveAquaria is different from the tang I have. Mine appears to have a bit of blue under the eyes due to my Blue LEDs but it does not have any blue. Also the Blue Caribbean Tang has a distinct flat/straight tail where my tang has an half oval shaped tail.

    If it is a mimic tang then it will be fine in your 75. Make sure it has plenty of swimming room. Keep the rocks away from the back wall a couple of inches for swimming area.

    Thanks for the tip.. Yeah, I noticed he loves swimming through the rockwork/caves. Thinking of going with BRS pukani rocks.. Anyone have any negative experience with these rocks?
