They are great fish -- one of the prettier types of tangs, I think. But you may have problems with it in a 55 gallon tank. They grow very big. If you bought a small one (I hope you did), it will be okay for a while, but you will need to plan to find it a new home when it outgrows your tank, or get a larger tank if you want to keep it. You should really research the requirements of the animals BEFORE you buy them.

Feed the guy plenty of vegetable matter, they tend to graze on algae in your tank too. They can get to dinner plate sizes in the wild so be aware. Hope your tank is fully cycled, they are sensitive to water quality and can be shy at times. Mine did not survive my last tank move.

I have one in my 210 gallon tank he is probably about 6" long but he is growing fast, the lil pigglte likes to eat. he does require alot of swimming room, lots of greens and algie

I had a sailfin in my 240. I named him Lunch, because my other two tangs would beat the crap out of him. The eventually beat him to death. And he became someone's lunch.
