+1 for the tang, it will also outgrow your 100G tank someday.

Actually no, not long term. Minimum tank size is 240 gallons, 8 feet long. Sailfins get huge and they grow fast.

And in my opinion they get ugly when they are bigger

Wow what store had it labeled as a Koran angel? I wouldn't shop there much if I were you. Overpaid for a sailfin if you spent Koran angel fish money. Pretty sad they can't distinguish between a angel and a tang

I see mislabels at local stores a lot, owners try to be cheap and hire HS kids pay them minimum wage, next thing you know they are labeling and selling the wrong stuff. Most common mistake I see is labeling mimic tangs angels, which I kinda get. But labeling a sail fin tang angel is really taking it to the next level.

Wow.
Just, ummm..., WOW.
Koran Angel = "Pomacanthus semicirculatus".
Just the name indicates a species with semi-circles.
They really called that a Koran?
Seriously?
You can't fix stupid I guess.
But you can let it play with a plastic bag...
BTW:
Koran used to be one of my favorite fish. Not very pretty as an adult, but absolutely gorgeous as a juvenile, and very attitudinal, which is what I prefer.
