Description
The Gem Tang is a highly prized and sought-after saltwater fish due to its beautiful black body and white spots. The spots become more intricate and dense as the fish matures. It's a hardy species, but can be challenging to keep due to its high price and specific dietary needs.
Reef Safe
Yes, the Gem Tang is considered safe for reef aquariums and will not harm corals or invertebrates.
Environment
The Gem Tang prefers a well-lit aquarium with plenty of hiding spots. It thrives in a tank with a strong current and high-quality filtration to mimic its natural ocean habitat.
Behavior
This fish is generally peaceful but can be territorial with other tangs and surgeonfish. It's a highly active swimmer and requires plenty of open space.

Well behaved for a Tang! A beautiful fish. Worth the money for something you don’t see every day.

My specimen only eats nori sheets. It was shy at first, only hiding behind rockwork. Over time it started coming out and is now frequently seen slowly swimming across the front of my tank. An absolutely beautiful fish
