The Koi Scopas Tang arrived healthy and active. It has adapted well to our 120-gallon reef tank after a few weeks. Its coloration is vivid and it adds a lot of visual interest. Only recommend for experienced aquarists with stable water parameters.

We’ve had this tang for three months now. It’s active and doesn’t seem to damage corals. The color is more intense than expected. Water parameters are stable, and we maintain strong flow. Would buy again if we had a larger tank.
Bernadette Hudson –
The fish looks beautiful, but it’s not as active as other tangs. We noticed it spends a lot of time near the back wall. Water flow is critical here. Not sure if it’s fully adjusting yet.
