No photo's yet as we just got him/her last night, but we have a Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum) in the tank now. He's gorgeous!

He was in a small tank and being in a larger/longer tank seemed to enjoy his new freedom. Zipped along the full length of the tank several times, explored the rocks, scared the other fish who decided to check him out and nipped at some algae in the back.

Neat! Here's some interesting sites I found on them... http://www.globaldialog.com/~jrice/fish ... letang.htm

Also added a carpenter's flasher wrasse (or maybe filamented flasher) the other week..(This is the coolest fish, swims like he is riding an elevator) I think our fish list is done. Had to cut out eggcrate for the top of the tank so he didn't carpet surf... he was poking his head out at the store looking where to jump to and would jump into the next tank.
