I’ve had my Sailfin Tang for six months now and it’s been a great addition to my 150-gallon reef tank. It’s active and doesn’t damage corals. Only needs occasional feeding and stays calm most of the time. A solid choice for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s not overly aggressive, but does defend its space. I’ve noticed it’s more active during the day and enjoys the open areas. Good size for a reef setup.

This tang is a vibrant addition to my tank. It’s clean, active, and doesn’t eat coral. I appreciate the size range mentioned — it’s grown to about 6.5 inches and still looks healthy. Great for intermediate hobbyists.
