    It's not the coraline I want to get rid of. It's the putting green textured algae.

    I am not normally one to say this, but none of you are correct. Look at the mouth structure and facial shape of that fish in his photo. no resemblance to each other. His tang is of Bristle tooth variety. related to the Chevrons, Kole and Tomini. at least that is what I can tell from the photos and from being a Tangaholic.

    Go look at these
    Ctenochaetus

    No kidding!!! Completely awesome looking fish. I so want one... then again, I have said that way too many times for way too many fish lately.

    we have a MATA tang at the LFS and I havent seen it but photos on the net of them are awesome..
