Did you know that the person who discovered the Achilles tang (Acanthurus achilles) also discovered the Platypus? Back in the early 1800s George Shaw described the Achilles tang based on a specimen discovered in Hawaii.

Keeping an Achilles tang in your own reef tank doesn't have to be hard - start with a big tank with lots of flow, follow proper quarantine to eliminate ich, and feed it lots of nori or similar foods. If you can keep up with their active lifestyle and reduce their aggressive tendencies, you'll find the Achilles tang makes a great reef tank fish.
