Probably never to be honest. They place they come from, Hawaii, has banned all collection of fish for aquarium trade. Really the only way people can get them is through captive breeding, and I only know of one facility that captive breeds them. And captive breeding tangs is not easy so they will most likely stay expensive.

Biota usually has them for $149 captive bred
Hawaii will open up again in the fairly near future, I think. But shipping and other economical issues will keep them around 100 bucks, again, I think. That's okay, IMO, as 30-40 dollar tangs aren't necessarily a good thing...similar to $9.99 oscars not necessarily being a good thing.

I'd check facebook, kijiji, and local clubs. Many people seem to be breaking down their tanks and selling off livestock, and it's often much better sourcing them from a hobbyist than it is from almost any commercial source. That's how I ended up with a very nice one two months ago, for $100 CAD.

Damsels are bad, i refuse to keep them any longer.
Regarding the YTs, I bought mine the week before the ban went into place, scored him for $90 I believe and I thought that was high, the next week the LFS owner said I got lucky, this week they are $250.
