Default Macro shot of saifin tang

I was playing around with my camera this evening and decided to take a few shots of my sailfin tang. I liked this macro shot the most.

for sailfins, they get so large and so quickly, I would say 180 for minimum tank. I acquired this one from another reefer who had it in a 75g. They bought it when it was about the size of a toonie and it grew to about 6-7" in about 1 year I believe.

I had a 230 and mine went from about 1" to about 8-9" in about a year and a half. It also went from like 1/8" wide to almost 2". They grow much faster then any other tang I've ever kept.


Very nice shot Chin.
