Spotted Cheek Tang

This caught my eye for the new tank. Anyone know anything about them?

THAT is beautiful! I don't know anything about them though.

With my luck it's probably $500+ and will only eat frogspawn! ;D

There is some happy looking frog spawn in the background. Maybe he's just not hungry.

Here's a start

They run around $200 @ Live Aquaria & Marine Center. Be careful with juvenilles because there are several species that look similar when young.

Thanks Jeff!

Rich, he's probably full from a 20 head hammer he just ate.

Hmmm.. $200, that pretty, and very little posted about them. Something is fishy. :
