Yes I have one and love her right now!! Few questions though, will she swim around a lot or hide a lot? Is it true they grow to 5" usually in aquariums, not 7"? Are they hard to keep?

Kole Tang = YellowEye Surgeon in Hawaii..
These are amazing fish. I have dove with these all over the Hawaiian islands.. In nature Kuli they range to 7 inches but they have alot of room to grow. In a normal aquarium setting they will stay 4-5 inches. My friend in Hawaii kept one. They are a little on the aggressive side towards other tangs or species that look like tangs. Try feeding him mysosis shrimp, nori, zuccini, or maybe some cucumber. Also they are coral scavengers and will eat the small algae developing of your LR or corals away....
