The Convict Tang is a highly reef-safe, hardworking algae grazer known for its bold black-and-white striping and peaceful nature. Unlike many tangs, Convict Tangs are relatively mild-mannered and focus heavily on grazing, making them an excellent functional addition to reef aquariums.

Why it’s a great reef tang

  • Very reef safe — does not nip corals

  • Constant grazer that helps control film and turf algae

  • More peaceful than most tang species

  • Can be kept singly or in groups in large systems

Care & Requirements

  • Tank size: 100–125 gallons minimum (larger for multiples)

  • Diet: Nori, spirulina flakes/pellets, frozen herbivore foods

  • Temperament: Peaceful to semi-peaceful

  • Reef compatibility: Reef safe

  • Experience level: Intermediate

Convict Tangs are active swimmers and require ample swimming space and strong water movement. They acclimate best in established systems with consistent access to algae and supplemental feeding.

A perfect choice for reef keepers looking for a functional, coral-safe tang with striking contrast and nonstop activity.
