I’ve had my Orange Stripe Tang for six months now. It’s active and colorful, and it doesn’t bother the corals. The fish is a bit territorial, but with proper tank setup, it’s manageable. Great addition to a 75-gallon reef tank.
Virginia Chapman –
The fish looks vibrant and stays active. I noticed it does occasionally nudge smaller invertebrates, but it’s not aggressive overall. Needs a spacious tank and some hiding spots to feel secure.
Mary Slater –
It’s a striking fish with a bold orange stripe. I appreciate its reef compatibility. It’s not the easiest to keep, but once the tank is stable, it settles in well and adds a lot of visual interest.
