The Lavender Tang has been thriving in my 75-gallon reef tank for six months. It’s active but not overly aggressive and doesn’t damage corals. Feeding is straightforward with a mix of algae wafers and spirulina.

I added this tang to my tank after researching compatibility. It’s semi-aggressive but doesn’t pose a threat to my reef. Growth has been steady, and it’s become a regular part of the tank community.
