Sohal Surgeonfish · Red Sea Clown Surgeonfish

Tangs & Surgeonfish

A large, boldly striped tang from the Red Sea with dramatic horizontal black and white barring and vivid orange accents near the tail scalpels. Sohal tangs are extremely aggressive and territorial — they will dominate a tank and harass other tangs relentlessly. Best kept as the sole tang in a very large system by experienced reefers.
