Some species form schools in nature in order to overtake another animal's territory. It's easier to steal algae in big numbers.
Every time I go diving in the Caribbean, I only ever see Caribbean Blue Tangs in huge groups. You'll rarely see them alone.
As i said though, I agree that it's impossible to replicate this in captivity.
