Thomas Springer –
The Lavender Tang has been thriving in my 75-gallon tank for six months. It’s active but not overly aggressive and doesn’t damage corals. Water parameters are stable, and the fish shows good coloration. A good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Andrea Simpson –
I added this tang to my reef tank after researching compatibility. It’s calm compared to other tangs and has adapted well. I monitor water quality regularly and it seems to be doing fine. Slight aggression toward smaller fish, but manageable.
Lillian Ball –
The fish arrived healthy and has been active since setup. It doesn’t eat much but is curious and explores the tank. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate description. Great for a reef setup with proper tank size.
