Ikan Botana/ Tangs
umumnya memakan ganggang (algae), meskipun ada beberapa spesies menjadi karnivora. Tangs biasanya tidak akan mentolerir ikan lainnya dengan warna dan bentuk yang sama seperti mereka.
Mereka memiliki duri yang terdapat pada ekor mereka yang apabila terbuka dapat memotong ikan lain bahkan mungkin tangan para hobbis jika
memegang dengan tangan yang tidak terlindung. Semua tangs harus diberi banyak ruang berenang, oleh karena mereka
cenderung bisa hidup
lebih baik dalam tangki yang lebih besar, lebih 5 galon.
