Una Duncan –
I’ve had my Kole Tang for six months now and it’s very active but not aggressive. It’s adapted well to my 75-gallon reef tank. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a great addition to the community. Feeding is straightforward with high-quality flakes and occasional frozen foods.
Diana Hart –
The fish looks healthy and stays calm around other tank inhabitants. I noticed it spends time near the back wall, which is good for visibility. It’s a bit shy at first but settles in after a week. I feed it twice daily and it eats well.

This tang has been a highlight in my tank. It’s peaceful, colorful, and doesn’t damage corals. I appreciate the clear labeling and accurate size description. It’s a solid choice for intermediate reef keepers.
