Is it worth the risk ?

[PEP12]

Hi all, I am thinking about getting a Achilles Tang, my research shows that is susceptible to a high risk of white spot and as it is quite an expensive but fantastic fish I am asking for views on this risk from anyone who has one.

It is definitely not an easy fish, but the most beautiful tang in my opinion. They are extremely prone to ich and velvet, so a solid qt protocal for all fish, coral, and inverts is essential.

They are also a very active fish that requires a lot of open swimming space and high flow. An 8' long tank is recommended.
