Yes the achilles tang is stunning ,but is hard to get (in u.s.) ,but also they are very delicate just read up on them don't go out and buy 1 withouth sny info

They're really really active, they need long tanks to be happy. And a lot of flow. They're definitely one of the harder tangs to keep, but also one of the most beautiful.

The all black one wasn't a Zebrasoma Rostratum, was it? Linky

A few Achillies turn up in the Uk from time to time, but I have heard that their survival rate in the marine hobby is somewhat lacking.

8' tanks and longer for an Achilles. And yes, they're very difficult to obtain and keep alive
