Does any one have a Majestic Surgeon?

[hulley]

I have a book that shows a Acanthurus Sohal, AKA Zebra surgeon and Majestic surgeon. This is a very beautiful fish but I never hear it mentioned on this site! Those that have or had one, what was your expierence with this fish.

 

[Ochi]

They are mentioned all the time on this site as "Sohal Tangs"

If you input Acanthurus Sohal onto any fish site you will see, such as liveaquaria.com

For most they are highly territorial, aggressive, grow large, and need 180+ gallon tanks.

I would actually say a 300 gallon minimum.

 

[Gobie]

Very aggressive as bad as a clown tang.

 

[JENnKerry]

I would say probably more aggressive.

They are mean psycho SOBs. You can start 'em off small and things will seem ok, then they grow....they are definitely a last fish in the crew type addition....but yeah GORGEOUS!

thanks everyone, I guess I'll pass on this one! I'm planning on a 240g tank this summer and would like a couple of tangs such as a powder blue and or powder brown. so I'll wait till then to decide!
