Naso Tang?

[bjoiner]

I was in the fish store the other day and saw what looked like a Naso Tang only pretty small. They had the fish in a 50 gallon tank which I thought was too small for a tang (3 feet across).

I would really like to get one (eventually) for my 50 gallon, but was curious if 1) this actually was a Naso Tang and 2) they can exist comfortably in a 50 gallon reef?

[Is it possible that they were keeping him in there till he grew to be too big?]

Without a description or a picture it would be impossible to say if it was in fact a Naso Tang. :wink:
And yes, a 50 gal tank is way too small for one.

Sorry, I wrote that post with haste. It looked identical to a Naso, only about 2" (http://www.aquahobby.com/marine/img/Nas ... atus_2.jpg)

What I really meant was, are there such things as "nano" tangs? or are they just tangs that haven't grown to full size yet?
