just was wondering if anyone could ID this fish i saw at the georgia aquarium. none of the employees knew what it was; obviously its a tang of some sort but was just curious as to what kind exactly. any feedback is appreciated!

Looks like a Dussemeri - Not sure if that is the correct spelling... They get big.... Bigger than big... But very friendly tang, makes a great pet.

Needs a giant tank.

Saw some at the Dallas aquarium. Beautiful swoop-swimmer fish that are only suited for the largest tanks.

Dussumieri Tang. Probably my favorite species of tang. Drop dead gorgeous, but get very large (bigger than a naso), and relatively hardy if placed in the right environment. Same genus as sohals and clowns, but larger and *much* more peaceful. Definitely on my dream fish list :bum:
