Hey guys,
Went to a popular tourist spot earlier this week and came across these tangs. Honestly, they looked pretty rough to me - what's your take on it? Thinking of speaking up about it, maybe.

The photos don't exactly paint a rosy picture, to be honest. That said, we're missing some context here - no idea what their backstory is. Could be new additions, or maybe they were rescued from some home aquarium that couldn't care for them.

Those tangs do look pretty rough, might just be the lighting though, but still, they don't exactly look like they're thriving.

Saw them at Kew Gardens, looked really rough and scared, wouldn't even come out of hiding.

Are they getting enough to eat, looked like they were struggling a bit to me, and the state they're in, it's a concern.

They're likely new additions or dealing with some sort of freak outbreak. I highly doubt a tourist attraction would let this slide if they had any control over it.

A public aquarium like Kew Gardens should be able to manage algae growth better than this.

Those pics are massive, can't believe the size of them.

I know, right, huge pics. I was trying to view this thread on my phone and it was a real pain.
