The Round Face Tang is a beautiful addition to my 120-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. I feed it daily with spirulina and algae wafers. It’s active but not aggressive, and it’s easy to care for once the tank is set up.

I’ve had this tang for three months now and it’s thriving. It’s very active and colors are vibrant. The only thing to note is it needs a good amount of space and a steady supply of algae-based food.

Great fish for a reef tank. It’s calm, doesn’t chase other fish, and looks stunning in the tank. I’m happy with the purchase and would recommend it to others with similar setups.
