The Black Tang has been thriving in my 100-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active and colorful, and it doesn’t damage corals. Only needs occasional feeding and regular water changes. A great addition to a balanced reef setup.

I bought this fish for my intermediate reef tank. It’s healthy and shows good activity. I noticed it’s semi-aggressive, so I made sure to keep it with compatible species. Feeding is straightforward and it adapts well.
