Added this tang to my 75-gallon reef tank and it has been thriving. It’s active but not aggressive, and it doesn’t bother the corals. Good choice for intermediate reef keepers.
Liam Berry –
The fish looks healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It’s a peaceful addition and doesn’t cause any stress to the other inhabitants. Slightly shy at first but now swims confidently.
Faith Rees –
Perfect for a reef tank with moderate care. It’s easy to maintain and stays calm around other fish. The white tail and yellow eye make it quite noticeable and attractive.
