The tang arrived with vibrant coloration and looks healthy. It’s active in the tank and doesn’t seem to stress other fish. The care level matches what was described, and it’s a great addition to a 150-gallon reef setup.
Sonia Butler –
The white spine tang is visually striking. It’s semi-aggressive but doesn’t cause issues in a well-established tank. I’ve observed it grazing on algae without harming corals.
Colin Mackay –
Excellent color and behavior. It’s been in the tank for three months and remains active and healthy. The size is appropriate for a mid-sized reef tank with proper space.
