What kind of fish is this? It's the fish on the right hand side of the tank, about mid-water. For all the Reefers with kids, its the "Dory." Here's the link: "Dory"

[steelhealr]

..not only that...aren't tangs supposed to get aggressive and pick at corals? SH

 

[Opcn]

Nah, tangs like veggies.

 

[Navarre]

Tangs are reef safe yet they are very aggressive towards other tangs. Great algae eaters and a good addition to large tanks with plenty of swimming room.

Hi,

My regal tang was a very aggressive fish when it got older and bothered everyone else in the tank

Beautiful fish though prone to whitespot.Lost unfortunatly in a tank crash due to a boxfish
