tangs

Hi guys! I’m a FOT hobbyist from Hong Kong. Recently I bought this Tang from a LFS and am not quite sure which species it belongs to. It’s about 1 penny large only but seems to me it mingles pretty well with other larger tenures of my tank so far. Is it a Acanthurus Dussermeri? Or a Acanthurus...

Hi R2R friends, We're thinking about adding a tang to our 100g tank to combat the hair algae showing up in the tank, we have snails but thought a more active eater would help. Want to get some thoughts from the community on these two tangs Does anyone have experience with them? I'm...

Can someone please ID this fish ? Not Dussumieri. As you can see the Dussumieri attack the imposter.

What are the main differences in the types of nori we feed our tanks? I've seen green as a sort of daily feeder, red/purple as one you use to fatten up a weak fish, and not sure about what brown is for. Does anyone have a breakdown of what these different types of nori are actually used for?

No tang police please, this is just the qt tank. Will be going into a much larger one soon. Can't tell if this is a Razor Surgeon or a Yellowtail. As its a juvenile, will his color change as he ages? Don't believe there will be any issues with my Kole tang but want to verify.

I love tangs and I would love to have one of every genus eventually. I am wondering what experience people have with the Prionurus genus. I am specifically interested in P. Biafraensis and P. Chrysirus because they are tropical species and smaller. Pictures welcomed!

Thank you first off for reading and your possible help in this situation! I am getting a 125gal set up. Right now just going over some fish just so I can have a mock plan for the future. Will not be getting any fish till at least 2 months or more from now, as I will be doing a very deep clean...

Hi all, looking to add my final fish-stock step, three tangs to my Peninsula 650 - Question, before I head out searching for the perfect trio (Thinking two yellow, one purple). Theres plenty of space for them to each find territory but, to minimise potential conflict, think i'm best looking for...

A little bit of background. Been reefing on and off for the last 15 years. I started out with a 55g back in Florida. It was a good learning experience, unfortunately, I had to take the tank down when I moved back to Texas. A couple of years later I bought a BioCube 29g and had it for a couple of...

I am so upset right now. I've had a beautiful Yellow Tang in my QT for the last month or so while my 120 finishes cycling. The tang was swimming, had no signs of illness, ate regularly up until today. I just found him lifeless on the bottom of my QT. I started Copper treatment (Cuprion) on...

1. You should Quarantine all fish, especially Tangs 2. You should introduce tangs into the Display Tank at the same time to reduce hostility 3. Likely need to quarantine them together Question: How big a quarantine tank do you need? I have a 180G DT and plan on 3 tangs. I have a 20G QT...

Last night I was tinkering with my skimmer after lights out and I must’ve startled my Tomini Tang because he took a flying LEAP out of my tank - I don’t mean he causally hoisted himself over the side I mean he took flight. It was so fast that all I heard was a splash and then wild flapping...

Unfortunately I'm tearing down my dream tank . Starting with live stock XXL Blue Hippo Tang. $275 XXL Orange Shoulder Tang $250 Pair of Blue Jaw Triggers $160 Males is aprox 5.5" ish Female is Apro 4.5" ish Zebra Moray Eel 18"-24" ish . $140 Location Is Mount Joy PA 17552

So my LFS got this guy in last week and have been slowly getting him back to health but what type of tang is this, they were not entirely sure but thought orange shoulder tang but I can’t find any photos online that match it’s look.

I feel like I already know the answer before I ask this though I want to know if it is possible. I already add a Purple Tang in my tank (love it, eats very well) and I thought that was going to be my last fish, unless I upgrade and get a bigger tank. Though I did see a beautiful powder brown...

SO we are finally getting to the part where we gotta come up with a list of future inhabitants for our new ~220 build. Tank is 72x30x24 and the aim for the tank is a nice mixed reef with large LPS and some easier to keep sps (not going the full Acro route, been there, too much work). Tank will...

How long should I leave my Yellow Eye Tang in the acclimation box? Already completed 30 days of QT prior to going in, but I have a Yellow Tang. The tank is 150 gallons and the yellow eye is much smaller so the yellow isn’t paying him any attention. I also have 50 lbs of BRS rerf saver rock...

I have a Powder Blue and a Purple Tang in QT. They've been in there for 1 1/2 so far and have been dosing it with Prazi Pro. So far there has been so sign of Ich on either of them. I was going to QT them for a month. However, I was wondering your suggestions. Should I dose Copper even though...

so I’m just finishing up a new 120 gal “consolidation” build. I took all 7 of my tanks down and consolidated bits of each into one tank. It was getting to be too much and overtaking my life. The problem with consolidating everything into one tank is that I can’t decide on which fish to keep. My...

Hello, I have been looking to add a Kole Tang to my 90 gallon and I have notice that some of the Kole tangs that I have seen have either been brown or purple in color. Can anyone explain to me this difference and how I could order a kole tang so that it will specifically be more on the purple...

The Cook Islands are about half-way between Hawaii, and Australia. The largest island, Rarotonga, is surrounded by a barrier reef, so the island is circled by a protected lagoon. This first immersion video displays some of the beauty of the sea life found in the lagoon.

looking to add 1 tang with a foxface in a 125 gal tank. I heard Powders are super sensitive and I do not have a UV light for this tank. Had 1 friend mention that tangs from the Zebrasoma genus are the only hardy ones but I'm not sure how true that is.

I was going to post this in the current tang thread but I thought it might be hi-jacking.. Anyway..Our tank is becoming more established and I need to make a plan in which order to add the tangs. The display is a 225 6"X2'Wx 30T lots of room to swim both in front and in back of the rock...
