Other information.
Tangs can be more prone to Whitespot than other marine fish families, Mimic Tangs seem more resistant. Tangs are active swimmers, ensure the aquarium has plenty of open space. When small the Red Stripe Mimic Tang has red Stripe to mimic the Red Stripe Angel (Centropyge eibli). These stripes fade as the fish matures.
