Picked this girl up from Divers Den the other day and I got her in today. She is so tiny, even smaller than my female Akindynos clownfish.

I can't wait to watch her grow up in my tang to become a beautiful centerpiece.

Nice shot and wow that is small... Does the naso eat well? I heard that tangs in the super small size have issues with eating the normal tank food.

I'm not sure what she ate the first time as she was being shy. However, I'm about to feed PE Mysis & Bloodworms soaked in Omega 3 fish oil, so we'll see what happens. :)

Ok, update, haha.

Just fed and she ate very well. Gobbled up quite a bit of both Mysis and bloodworms, so pretty please about that.

Congrats Brian! She's a little cutie! I would love to have one, but I don't think our large Desjardini would be pleased at the prospect of another Tang roommate...

Thanks guys. That'll likely be the last tang in my system, as I already have three...unless I do a small Chevron.

Nice pick up! She is tiny! Should be fun to watch her grow!

Exactly why I bought the tiny one instead of the medium sized one. I really enjoyed watching my Orange Shoulder go from a tiny yellow tang to a gorgeous mid-adult colors so far.
