Healthy tang?

Hello all. This is my first tang that I have successfully kept, and have had him for over a month now. Just wanted to check in with yall to see if he looks healthy to you guys. He eats very great. Thanks!

He does appear physically healthy to me. What's your tank size?

I will say from practical experience that I do not like your rockwork. From what I can see, it provides zero to few caves and alcoves, including fully concealed areas, for your fish to traverse and hide in. If you re-work your rockscape to include some of this advice, your fish will be happier, and in all likelihood, healthier long term as a result. I would strongly recommend you do so.

I see what you’re saying, but that was only half of my tank. There’s another island of scape with has many caves. I can get a picture if you would like?
