Tenneni Surgeonfish?

Anyone have any info/pics on these tangs? The only info I am finding are on vendor sights....you know the ones that tell you mandarin's need 30 gal tank minimums? Lol.
Am looking to have 2 tangs in my 150g long, but everything is in the build/research stage atm.

Stock list will be pretty minimal...CUC: snails, (no hermits), cleaner
shrimps (2), peppermint shrimp (2),
Tangs (2) looking at Hippo, sailfin, and Tenneni possibilities. Thus the question, need Tenneni requirements.
Clarkii Clowns (2)~~ Annenome probably bta.
And last---going back and forth between a pistol/goby pr, or a mandarin down the road.
So essentially the plan is for approximately 5 fish, some inverts, corals & shrooms. Any info really appreciated, and any pic of a juvie Tenneni would be awesome. Have only seen..."Juveniles are boring and plain."
But gee the adults are Beautiful!
Thanks for any info!

thank you scrmbld33. I've seen that one...Only thing that comes up while doing searches are vendors. Again...they recommend 55 gal, and I don't thinkso...lol.
I am assuming my 150g will be big enough. Just trying to make certain. Not a lot of info on these guys from people that aren't trying to sell em.
