The Orange Stripe Tang is active and colorful. It has adapted well to our 100-gallon reef tank. We noticed it grazing on algae and doesn’t seem to harm corals. It’s a great addition to a mid-sized reef setup.

This tang is lively and helps keep algae under control. We’ve had it for three months and it’s still healthy. It’s semi-aggressive, so we keep it with larger, calm fish. Good for intermediate reef keepers.
Natalie Randall –
We added this tang to our 75-gallon tank and it’s thriving. It’s very active and shows off its orange stripes well. No issues with coral or other fish so far. A solid choice for a reef tank.
