Default Anyone with experience of a Monrovia/Monrovian Surgeonfish - Acanthurus monroviae

Anyone out there ever have or know someone who has had a Monrovia tang? I was looking to add one but re-considering now due to the current stock list and aggression issues!! Right now I have:
Powder Blue Tang
Orange Shoulder Tang
Blonde Naso Tang
Blue (Yellow Belly) Tang
Spotted Yellow Eye Tang
Bariene Tang
Desjardini Sailfin tang
Purple Tang
Yellow Tang

Crosshatch Trigger
Copperband Butterfly
Magnificant Foxface
Majestic Angel
Flame Angel
And numerous smaller fish (clowns, cardinals, anthias, chromis, mandarins, scooters, blennies, gobies, etc.)

I'm planning on getting a White Spotted/Freckled Tang - Acanthurus maculiceps next. Pretty much all listed are considered peaceful to semi aggressive (minus the purple which is pretty shy) but the monrovian is considered aggressive. I've seen a Sohal (absolutely stunning) that was aggressive and totally turned me from owning one. He will be housed in a 465 gal 10' tank.

All input and suggestions are welcomed.

the Bariene and maculiceps may bicker with each other as they grow...
