What is the Swell Regal Tang?
The Regal Tang is a very iconic marine fish, with its vibrant colours and graceful appearance it has a charming presence in your saltwater aquariums. They have a sleek and compressed looking body with a gorgeous blue colouration with strong black markings which further shows the beauty of these animals. They can grow up to 30cm in an aquarium so you need to make sure that they are provided with an ample amount of space so that they don't get cramped. They also require a well maintained set up with plenty of hiding spaces which can be provided with live rock formations or corals.
