Palani Tang

[Mike612]

So my friend and I are planning to start a 220 gallon aquarium together. We decided it would be a reef with the following inhabitants: 2 ocellaris clowns, 7 squareback anthias (1 male, 6 females), and 1 Palani Tang (Acanthurus Dussumieri) as the center piece. My questions are: 1) I've never seen the Palani Tang at my lfs but I see them going online. It has a wide price range. I saw some going for $80 and I saw some going for $300. What is the regular price for these guys? 2) Can anyone tell me about the Palani Tang? Does anybody have personal experience with them? There isn't too much information online about them or in books.

Ok change of plans. We decided to lose the anthias and to add around 11 Green Chromis instead. The tank will have a 100 gallon sump that I forgot to mention.
