Angel Tang

I impulsively bought a beautiful Angel Tang, I have a 125 rectangular tank, it has been swimming back and forth, looking stressed, is my tank to small for him?

Sorry it's a Clown Tang, oops

IMO yes as they can get about 15" and super aggressive. How big is he? They are also one of the more difficult tangs to keep as they tend to not eat.

It will torment every other fish you add.

Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Clown Tang

As you can see they are for experts only. Very hard to keep alive.

Once again my impulse got the best of me, live and learn, hopefully it ends up peacefully. Such a gorgeous fish

It's about 5 inches

Wishing the best.

I was literally just thinking this! lol. to the OP don't beat yourself up over it, I came within about 2 mouse clicks of ordering a clown tang before I stumbled across an article regarding them

There's nothing worse than watching one fish relentlessly attack the others until they are dead. That for me, makes looking at the tank painful, instead of soothing and enjoyable.
A 5" tang has already outgrown your 125.
