Achilles tangs are extremely difficult to keep healthy and do require lots of swimming room. Your tank is not ideal. Please reconsider.

Needs at least 150 gallons. And even at that size with a lot of flow (they require it) its tough. Had to pull mine out because he kept getting ick and couldn't fight it off. He was paper thing. Was able to QT and is getting fat again. So a QT is a must as well. Tough fish. Oh and it my eats zoas... lol

Kami, an achilles most likely won't survive in a small frag tank like that. They are used of being in very rough highly oxygenated waters. They need lots of space to swim and they love to move around a lot. If your serious about getting one you will Deff need a bigger tank.

Yup, I agree with previous sentiments. Achilles needs a big tank.
