This tang is reef safe and thrives in well-established aquariums with ample rockwork and swimming space. Known for its grazing behavior, it helps control algae growth, making it a beneficial addition to reef tanks. The Gold Rim Tang requires stable water conditions and a varied diet to maintain its health and bright coloration, making it suitable for both novice and experienced aquarists.
