Simon Morgan –
The Sohal Tang arrived healthy and active. It adapted well to our 250-gallon tank. We feed it daily with algae wafers and it’s been eating well. It’s peaceful with other fish and doesn’t show aggression. A good choice for reef tanks.
Emily Poole –
It’s a hardy fish and has been thriving in our tank. The coloration is vibrant and matches the description. We’ve had it for three months and it’s still active and eating regularly.

We were cautious about adding a tang, but this one is calm and doesn’t bother the corals. It’s a great addition to a mixed community tank. Feeding it daily keeps it happy and healthy.
