Space
Tangs swim constantly and need long tanks, ideally 400 litres or more. Dwarf angels need rockwork to graze and hide in.
Diet
Feed seaweed sheets and algae-based foods every day, plus meaty frozen foods.
Health and reef safety
Tangs are prone to marine ich; quarantine them carefully. Dwarf angels may nip some corals and clams. Aquacultured flame angels and yellow tangs are now available; ask the seller.
