    Question Are Sohal Tangs Reef Safe? Anyone With Experience?

    The LFS has some great new fish, including several Sohal tangs. Has anyone ever had one before?

    Aparently the Newport Aquarium thinks that they are. This is a big mutha...I'm guessing about 10" long. It is hard to get an accurate size when the fish in in a tank so big.

    If you are thinking of getting a Sohal Tang for your 60-gal tank, I think you would be making a big mistake. Please consider the adult size of this species: http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/Spec...ciesname=sohal

    They are fine for a reef...

    ...but as Ninong mentions they can grow large.
