Oversize fish in undersize aquaria - opinions?

Hi,

I'm interested in people's opinons regarding keeping fish that grow very large (angels, tangs, triggers, boxfish) in small (<60g) aquaria, with the intention of passing them along to others or back to the LFS when they outgrow your reef.

Many of the most spectacular marine fish are out of reach of the hobbiest without the space or money for the larger tanks.

If you have kept such animals, which ones seemed best suited?

Regards,
Matthew
