This tang has been in my 80-gallon reef tank for three months. It’s active and colorful, and it doesn’t bother the corals. Feeding is straightforward with a mix of algae wafers and spirulina.

I added this fish to my tank after researching compatibility. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. I’ve noticed it spends time near the back wall, which is good for space management.

The fish looks vibrant and has adapted well to the tank environment. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided. It’s a great addition to a mid-sized reef setup.
