The Razor Tang arrived healthy and looks vibrant in my 150-gallon tank. It’s active and doesn’t seem to harm the reef. I’ve observed it grazing on algae without damaging corals. A good addition to a balanced reef setup.

It’s a beautiful fish with a unique appearance. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still active. I keep an eye on it near soft corals, but nothing has been damaged so far.

The fish is active and shows interest in the tank. I noticed it occasionally brushes against a soft coral, so I’ve moved it slightly. Overall, it’s a decent fit for my reef tank.
