    yeah hole in the head is gone now. I know the guy who had him and he wasn't treated too well. the guy broke his tank down and brought his fish to the store and they were the saddest looking fish I have ever seen. When I saw the purple and was in the middle of my 150 build I was offered the fish by the owner of the store where I work. I told him I would like to have him so we took the fish to his daughters house where she has a 300 gallon frag tank and placed the tang there to feed and just give him some tlc. As soon as my 150 was up and I felt comfy I decided to introduce all of my tangs at the same time. I have had him for about a month now and the hole in the head is gone. I'll bet he had 20 "pencil eraser" sized pits on both sides of his body. Now he is stellar. I believe the guy had a stray current in his tank causing stress to all of his fish because they were horrible.

    GEEEZ!!! Well its a good thing he tore down his tank then. Beautiful fish btw. ;D I love tangs. I know it isn't apparent since I crammed three into a 100gal, but they are all small <3" ;D (sailfin will be finding a new home when he gets bigger)

    Sweet crew Daniel.... Your tank looks like it would house a very large plerogyra that is outgrowing my tank.:)
