Its constantly grazing behavior and smooth, methodical swimming pattern make it both functional and visually appealing in a reef aquarium. Growing to around 7 inches, this species is known for its relatively peaceful temperament compared to other tangs, though it may show mild territorial behavior toward similar species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"562\" data-end=\"933\"\u003eThis species does best in a well-established aquarium with ample live rock for natural grazing and stable water conditions. Provide plenty of swimming space along with rockwork surfaces to support its constant feeding habits. A minimum tank size of 75–90 gallons is recommended, and it should be added after the tank has matured to ensure sufficient natural algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"1300\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiet and Feeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"1300\"\u003eBlue Eyed Kole Tangs are excellent herbivores and detritus grazers, constantly picking at film algae and organic matter.
