Clown Tang

[JustinGr]

I am considering a purchase of a 2.5" long clown tang for my reef. Only tang I will buy, but not sure of feeding needs. The one in question at the LFS is chowing on GHA, and Idon't have any in my tank.

How difficult are they to keep?

Very. Also not suitable for most tanks as they are highly aggressive. Certainly not in any tank less than 500 gallons but even that may be problematical.

how big is your tank?

 

[JustinGr]

Not 500

My reef is 75, but setting up a 150 FOWLR

Ill let it go and will pass on it. I don't need a difficult fish. Thank you!

To the OP, get Scott Michael's Reef Fishes book and read it. Or at least look at liveaquaria for their tank size recommendations.
