Another very large tang. That one gets bigger than the Blonde Naso. If you are thinking of keeping both of these Naso species you will need a tank around 300+ gallons.

It's called a Kala in Hawaii. Firm meat, good for the grill ;)

No I was only thinking of getting one or the other(probably the Blonde Naso). I will be keeping it in a 110 gallon tank(rectangular shape). Do you think a 110 gallon is big enough for one of these Naso's? I also have 1 Clownfish, 1 Copperband Butterflyfish, and 1 Goby Firefish.

Not for long.
