They are beautiful fish and one of the less aggressive of the Zebrasomas species of Tangs. They do grow rather large however and will need to be placed in a tank of 100gallons or larger in due time. It will attain 15 inches or larger in captivity, so be aware.
Nice pick up however!

Really nice fish, Always one of my favorites.
But fair warning, be prepared to hear about
having it in a 55 gallon tank because they
tend to get really large.

Very nice. Looks like the fish is fat and healthy which is a good sign! Sailfin's are one of my most favorite tangs and like you said, they have alot of personality.  | |

As far as tangs go, they do grow fairly slowly. So you should be able to enjoy it for a good while. Just be prepared to move him out to a larger home when it starts to look stressed out (skinny, ick, won't eat, hides all the time).
