My tangs are adjusting well and as can be seen by the stomach on the Powder Blue eating like little piggies. The Kole Tang was too fast tonight to get a picture.

Here are a few quick shots - the lights were turning off and the glass was dirty but you get the idea....

Q: Does the Sailfin Tang look like a regular Sailfin or a Desjardini? It was sold to me as a Desjardini from Liveaquaria.com but I have my doubts.

Looks like a regular sailfin to me. A Desjardini would have yellow spots on the body espeically around the belly area.

I received confirmation today from DFS that it is indeed a Sailfin Tang - not Desjardini. I was hoping the tang was just in an odd transition stage. He is well loved no matter what kind of tang he is. :)
