| Fast Facts |
The adults of this species are grayish-brown overall with blue lines on the body, blue along the base of the dorsal and anal fins, and blue on the tail. Juveniles lack the lines and spots. 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. It needs lots of swimming room, not a tank cluttered with décor. This species can usually hold their own with many of their tankmates. In the wild, it is usually found swimming over the reef feeding on zooplankton. Shown is a very large, fully developed specimen |
