The Black Tang arrived healthy and active. It has been in my 100-gallon reef tank for three months and is thriving. It swims well and doesn’t damage corals. Only needs occasional feeding and is not overly aggressive.

Good fish for a reef setup. It’s semi-aggressive but doesn’t cause issues with other tank mates. Grew steadily from 3.5 to 4 inches in the first month. Needs a stable environment and regular water changes.

Purchased the Tahiti Special Grade and it’s a beautiful fish. It’s active and colorful. I’ve kept it in a 75-gallon tank with corals, and it’s not causing any problems. Very satisfied with the purchase.
