Received the fish in good condition. It’s active and shows vibrant coloration. The tank is 180 gallons and has been stable since setup. It’s a striking addition to the reef setup and has not shown aggression toward other fish yet.

The gold coin tang is beautiful and quite active. I’ve had it for three months now and it’s adapted well. I do need to monitor its interactions with other tangs, as it’s semi-aggressive.

Great purchase. The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in a 150-gallon tank. It’s a rare species and adds a unique visual appeal to the display.
