The Gold Rim Tang arrived healthy and active. It has been in my 75-gallon reef tank for three months and is thriving. The fish is semi-aggressive but doesn’t harm corals when given proper space. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality flakes and frozen foods.
Tim Chapman –
This tang is a great addition to a mid-sized reef tank. It’s active and colorful, and it’s not overly aggressive. I’ve noticed it avoids direct contact with other fish, which makes it easier to manage in a community setup.
