Ella Hudson –
I bought this Scopas Tang for my 100-gallon reef tank. It’s been two months and it’s very active but not aggressive. It doesn’t eat much and stays in one area, which is good for a beginner. The fish looks healthy and blends well with the coral.
Peter Scott –
The tang arrived quickly and is adjusting well. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother other fish. I’m happy with the size and the fact it’s reef-safe. Just make sure the tank is large enough.
Una Sutherland –
Perfect for a small reef setup. It’s calm, doesn’t damage corals, and has a nice color. I didn’t expect it to be so easy to care for as a beginner.
