The aquaria section info is dubious (just as it is on other Tang specie pages). The answer implied in the statement is that "like all tangs" when taken off their natural diet and forced onto a "meaty diet" (in a tiny, overstocked fish tank) they tend to get sick and die. There's nothing natural about it and the result shouldn't be entirely unexpected. Unless we'd like to print that on the article in this section, I'd suggest the Aquaria section be removed until a quality source can be found. Hobbyist info on keeping these fishes in aquariums is notoriously filled with anecdote and hear-say, with people getting poor to very mixed results in the practice of keeping these fish.
