The scientific name of the Blue Tang is:
Paracanthurus hepatus

You need to get the scientific name for the fish. I have found too many fish called blue tang that come from that area to narrow it down.

Blue Tangs get up to 12". I highly doubt you have a tank large enough for this to happen. I have a blue tang in a 300 gallon tank and he stopped growing at 6.5"

They transfer the fish like they would any other fish, they pack it in a plastic bag with heaters and food, etc and they put it in a styrofoam box to absorb as much bumbs as much as possible. They transport them via air.
