Reef Safe
Yes, but with caution. While it generally does not harm corals, it can nip at small-polyped stony corals and some soft coral polyps.
Environment
The Lemonpeel Mimic Tang prefers a large tank with plenty of space to swim. The tank should have plenty of hiding spots and live rock for grazing. This fish prefers a strong current and well-oxygenated water.
Behavior
This species is known for its active and outgoing behavior. It can be territorial with other tangs and may show aggression towards fish of similar shape and size. However, it is generally peaceful with other species.
