Blake Slater –
The Sailfin Tang has been in my 150-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active and doesn’t damage corals. I appreciate the clear instructions on care and compatibility. It’s a good addition to a balanced reef system.
Yvonne McGrath –
I added this tang to my tank after researching compatibility. It’s semi-aggressive but not overly so. The fish is healthy and has a beautiful coloration. I recommend it for intermediate reef keepers.
Christopher Lee –
After a few weeks, the tang settled into the tank and started grazing on algae. It’s not aggressive toward other fish and doesn’t cause stress to the coral. Great choice for a reef setup.
