Acanthurus Xanthopterus

[Catbus]

has anyone had any experience with these fish? (they get HUUUGE)
I was just wondering the conditions they were kept under and what they were fed. if you have a picture of yours that would be cool too.
if they died how so?
thanks

I just got a very interesting one of these, it was shipped from Indonesia as "Acanthurus Xanthopterus Albino" but it has black eyes so it's not a real albino but its full body is a striking yellow.
It's now in quarantine tank and ill try to get a pic of it tomorrow.

how big is your aquarium? have you noticed the patterns on the fish yet
I bought mine today for my 4' tank to get rid of some hair algae then he goes back to my friends stingray tank so far hes polished a 12" rock of algae and a sheet of nori I think I'll only have him for about a week or two, he seems to be getting enough excercise off of my powerheads but he is still only about 5"
