I’ve had my Yellow Tang for three months now. It’s active and colorful, and it doesn’t seem to bother the corals. The captive-bred origin makes a big difference—no stress from wild-caught fish. Easy to care for in a 75-gallon tank.

The fish is vibrant and stays healthy. I noticed it does get slightly territorial when feeding, but it’s not a major issue. Good choice for a beginner reef keeper.
