purple tang

Hey Guys, so I have a general question with Tangs, so I currently have a 120 gal tank, I put in a Purple Tang and a Blue Tang at the same time maybe about 2-3 weeks ago, I was wondering if it was too late to put in a Powder Blue tang into the mix, I’ve had tangs before like Mimic Tangs...

Hey Everyone, Bit of a weird one here; have a mixed reef 100g and none of my 2 herbivores will touch Nori (or lettuce, or zucchini) and I’m concerned because I’d like them to have a great, varied diet. Current fish list: 1x McCosker’s flasher 1x Canary Wrasse 2x Snowflake clowns 1x Lawnmower...

Hey all! I’m currently downsizing from my 260 gal reef to a 3 foot water box. I’ve got the following in the 260 gal 1 Klein’s butterfly (4 inches) 1 desjardini tang (5-6 inches) 1 purple (2-3 inches) 1 blue face angel (2-3 inches) 1 coopers anthias (3 inches) I’m essentially planning to rehome...

We have had this purple tang for about a month now. He is the newest addition to the tank. Everything chemical wise checks out fine. The only change we can think of is that yesterday we added some live sand. These spots just literally popped up out of no where today. Any ideas on what it could be?

Hey guys. I’ve noticed this white splotch on my purple tang recently but did not think much of it. Recently my powder blue tang died, i’m unsure of the cause, but I remembered that the powder blue tang had a similar white splotch a week or two prior to him dying. I’ve attached photos of both...

For Sale is a happy, healthy and hungry Purple Tang. I bought my friends 44 gallon tank a month ago that included this tang. In resserzching, I learned it's not ideal to have a purple tang in such a small tank. Size estimate is about 3-3.5 inches Cost $135 I'm located in North NJ. Thanks!

Wanted to share a few pics of my new baby purple tang!! He is eating and has made friends already!!

Hello reef2reef community! Thank you for clicking and helping me out with this problem. I currently have a naso tang and a purple tang which seems to have gotten ich. The naso tang came from liveaquaria so I believed that they have already quarantined the fish for parasites and chose not to do a...

2 Year old Purple Tang - top fins lost color. he's very healthy and active. I feed him flakes everyday and greens morning and night I'm wondering if he's out growing my tank and scratching himself on rocks or disease? 60g tank pic attached thanks

Looking to trade my healthy, active purple tang (4 inches) for some coral. The reason I am offering him up is because I went tang crazy with a 75 gal that has a blue hippo and yellow tang. The yellow an purple do not get along very well. I'm interested in stocking up on the following coral...

My boyfriend and I have a 125 gallon reef tank we are looking to fill out. We are located in the San Bernardino area but willing to travel for those that have what we're looking for. We are interested in adding bigger, whole coral colonies to help fill it out like Montis or Acros but will...

I have attached 2 tangs to sell - both been with me for over 1 year - very healthy, very active and eats pellets/ frozen food, everything ... (from hand) 1. Purple Tang ... 5 inch ... very nice color 2. Deserdini Tang ... 7 inch .. very vivid patterns and colors Selling to make room to get some...

So i received my purple tang from LFS along with yellow that ended up having ich and transferred to Purple. Because i noticed ich on yellow tang day 2, I quickly ramped up Copper Power at 2.0ppm for 16 days and that seems to be solved. I typically ramp up Cu levels or 5-6 days but this was a...

Hi all, yesterday I bought one yellow tang and one purple tang, my tank is 2 months old, unfortunately i don't have a QT system yet so i acclimated the fish and put the in the tank directly, today i noticed that the yellow tang has a white lip, and the purple is having some weird spots above the...

Purple Haze the Purple Tang

When I look at the purple tang I see spots on there face not sure what they are

So I purchased a purple and yellow tang and added them at the same time 125 gallon tank. I noticed a few days later some dots on the purple.. they are both eating well and not flashing like many do with ich.. it went from just a handful of dots to ALOT!! I’ve run ichX for the past three days at...

So I just bought one purple tang. I know very exciting! I also purchased a yellow tang as well. My dream was to have 2 yellow tangs. However the woman at the store told me I had to have at least 3 yellow tangs. So they wouldn’t fight. Was she right? I really wanted two yellow tangs.. does any...

I'm ready to start adding new fish to by 120G reef but may have some constraints given my existing fish. Current fish - juvenile purple tang - 3 yr old maroon clown - 6 month old mystery wrasse - diamond goby When I started this new tank my goal was to have a single tang along with multiple...

My new purple tang seemed to be looking healthy for the first few days and is now starting to worry me. White spots/dots are all over his body and fins. Is this ich or marine velvet? Or somthing else? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

Hi! I have just rescued this purple tang and he is in very bad condition. He‘s most likely losing all his fins. Any suggestion on how to help him get back to his shape? Please help! Thank you!

Title is pretty much self explanatory I’ve done some research and found tons of conflicting information on the tank size for a purple tang Would one be okay in a Red Sea reefer 350 with a open aquascape?

Hey guys, I got this purple tang for 3 years, eats like a champ. He was half a dollar when I got him. Now he’s about 4-5 inches and too big for my tank. Local pick up only. Socal 90680
