Who cares about the fish- I want their holding tank! lol
The tang is Acanthurus chirurgas. Its a pretty common tang from the Caribbean/West Atlantic. IME they are one of the less aggressive tangs, pretty easy to care for. Personally, I think the one on that sit is Way overpriced, but that depends on the buyer I suppose.

pretty pricey, but a gorgeous specimen!

$230 is pricey for a gorgeous 10" specimen? What then is $70 for a 3.5-4" Powder Brown Tang, or $250.00 for a mated pair of Melanapus clowns with a 4" female? Expensive is $900 for a mated pair of Chrysopterus clowns (yes, really)!

Like I said, it depends on the buyer- its worth as much as someone is willing to pay. Im simply saying that I think you could find a similar A. chirurgus for a fair bit less- its by no means a rare fish.

I guess I say that living by the atlantic. They tend to be cheap around here, much less you could collect your own. But like others have said it's not expensive if someones willing to pay.
