I’ve had my Chevron Tang for six months now. It’s very calm and blends well with the other fish. The color has deepened over time, which is a nice sight. Easy to care for and doesn’t stress the tank mates.

The fish arrived healthy and active. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase other fish. I feed it algae wafers daily and it eats well. The color is vibrant and changes slightly after a few months.

Great addition to my reef tank. It’s not aggressive and stays in the middle of the tank. The orange tones become richer as it grows. I’m happy with the size and temperament.
