It is a very active fish that is among the hardiest of all tangs! They may even thrive un less than optimal conditions. Highly sought after, this species becomes quite spectacular as they grow.

In the wild, it is usually found swimming over the reef feeding on zooplankton. Shown is a very large, fully developed specimen
