Stephanie Chapman –
This tang has been in my 80-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but not aggressive, and it doesn’t eat corals. The white tail and yellow eye are very distinct. Easy to spot in the tank and seems to adapt well to the environment.

I added this tang to my 75-gallon tank after reading about its peaceful nature. It’s been healthy and active, and it doesn’t seem to bother other fish or invertebrates. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
