just a question. How do you get them out of the tank without tearing down?

Using a fish trap is an easy way.

I've got a fish trap. The Naso eats from my hand. He won't be a problem. The purple is much more wary, however.

If you need help with tearing the tank down let me know I'd be glad to help, since im buying it anyway.

Tack 100 onto the tank and I'll take the purple. Just need someone to house him while I get the tank ready.

The best fish come out of a healthy established tank. I would rather take one from someone's tank that's been in there a while and healthy.

Agreed! The Naso I got from Ben this weekend is in great health and eats well. I would have never been able to find a Naso, or any other species, in this condition in a store.
For anyone else interested in the Purple Tang, it is a very healthy looking specimen.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the comments.

Gibby, congrats on finding your purple tang.

I'm out of town for the next 3-4 days. Please bear with me as my signal is next to nothing out here. I will return all PMs as soon as I can.

This is the best advice when it comes to buying most anything in this hobby. Whether you are talking about fish or coral.

Not that buying from a store is a bad idea, i mean thats where they came from before our tank....

But yes, the risk is greater.

And with the amount some purples are at the LFS, what Ben is asking or has been offered is a bargin for a healthy specimen.

Ok. The purple tang is back on the market! I'm really looking to take a healthy blonde naso in trade. I honestly don't care that the purple tang is worth more. If no one has a fat, healthy Blonde naso, I'll sell it and buy one. 😀

If only it were that easy. I'd have to pull all the rock from the center most rear of the tank to do that. This dude watched his buddy get trapped in my fish trap and remembers.
