The Tristis Tang has a striking appearance with a black body that will develop vibrant yellow and blue markings as they grow. They require a diet rich in algae and vegetable matter. Offer them a variety of Nutramar Nori, frozen foods enriched with spirulina, and high-quality pellets. Tristis...
As was previously recommended to me via humble fish, I tried new life spectrum thera+a and vitachem which are not helping. I need some help in getting my poor tangs tail fixed. It looks like it was nipped, scratched or something. I've been trying for 90 days and need a new direction to help...

Yesterday I saw this spot on my tang closer to the head I thought it was a scrape. Then this morning I see the second mark closer to the tail… is this just a scratch or something else and should I treat….
Brand new tank I just set up I had this fish for 4 years
Hey all, just looking for some pointers on this hippo tang I inherited a week ago with a tank purchase. To me it looks a bit beat up, but previous owner didn’t mention any aggression or other when asked. As you can see, the stomach looks to be a bit pinched, and the fins ragged, as well as some...
Hello! I recently set up a 40 gallon IM cube tank and I’m planning on making a reef. I cycled it correctly and I set up an aquascape with lots of places to swim and hiding room. I haven’t put anything tin yet but I am going to this weekend. I really really like some tangs, fox faces...
Hi All!
Needing a check on if I’m seeing things or not.
Three months ago or so I added a purple tang to my tank. The tank has mostly LPS in it and one BTA hosted by a clown. All coral has been fine but roughly around the time I added the PT it seems my BTA has been very distressed and has yet...
Hello! I have 2 tangs, a purple and yellow. They have a habit of ganging up on certain newcomers (killed a powder blue tang and a coral beauty angel on seperate occasions). Right now I have a copperband in the tank with a partition up so the tangs can't get her.
To avoid aggression I thought it...
Came home and noticed this a spot on my vlamingi tang. It seems to be a circular spot with a black outline and normal skin inside. It sort of looks like a worm under the skin but I can’t be sure. Can some help ID what this is and what measures need to be taken?
sal- 35.0
pH- 8.1

I have had my White Tail Tang for roughly a month. About a week in, I noticed a small white patch form on his side. Over the last couple weeks, the patch has gotten larger and looks to be raised off his body. I’ve also noticed a second patch forming on the opposite side, near the bottom of his...

Looking to trade my 6 inch Gem Tang for a smaller (2-4in) Gem. She’s being too aggressive with my newer smaller Tangs despite holding her in an acclimation box for a week.
She’s a beautiful fish and I don’t want to get rid of her but I’m running out of options. Ideally, I would like to trade...
The Humpnose Unicorn Tang (Naso tuberosus) is not commonly seen and is a stunning species that will grow very large. Adults can grow to be 2 feet in size and will need substantial swimming space. In the wild, they do live in schools but can become aggressive toward other tangs and food...

Hello reef-enthusiasts! I soon hope to get a six foot aquarium (INFINIA Frag 175.6) and I love tangs. I have never owned tangs but was hoping with this tank I could. I know some tangs can get as small as six inches and some can get...
Hi,
One of my tangs has passed away. I have a Hyppo Tang and a Porcupine Puffer Fish that are barely hanging on. They are breathing heavy; the tang has started to develop marks on her face. She is on her side and trying to swim. Also, she is losing her color. We have transferred them out of...

I'm moving across the country in a couple months and am having to break down my tank. Now that I have unloaded a decent chunk of my corals, I'm starting to sell off my fish and inverts.
I'm happy to be super transparent, as I'd like these fish and inverts to go to fellow hobbyists...
