Orangespot Surgeonfish · Olive Surgeonfish

Tangs & Surgeonfish

A large, hardy tang that undergoes a dramatic colour transformation from bright yellow as a juvenile to olive-grey with a distinctive orange shoulder patch as an adult. Orange shoulder tangs are peaceful for their size and adapt well to aquarium life, but they grow large and need a very spacious tank with plenty of swimming room.
