The Thompson’s Tang has a light blue to gray colored body with yellowish accents on its fins.
They are peaceful and docile tangs.
They require moderate water movement circulating in the tank. Have plenty of live rock in the tank for these very active grazers.
Have plenty of live rock in your tank. Tangs will graze on the live rock and it will provide necessary hiding areas and swim pass-throughs.
Tangs will eat just about all fish foods; Ocean Nutrition Pellets are a perfect diet. Feed tangs with plenty of marine-based seaweed, as this will keep them healthy. Try putting seaweed on a veggie clip, or break into small pieces and feed 2-3 times per week. Ocean Nutrition Seaweed contains garlic which helps the immune system in these colorful fish.
