Mustard Tang, Acanthurus pyroferus

Widespread Indo-West Pacific. Coastal to outer reef crests. Juveniles usually mimic various sympatric pygmy angelfishes in colour and shape. The form appears to be a non-mimic that occurs in various part of the Pacific and eastern Australia. The tail changes from rounded to lunate when outgrowing the size of the model and changes colour to that of the adult. Length to 20cm.

Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine-based seaweed and algae. An herbivore diet will help strengthen the immune system, reduce aggression, and improve its overall health. Offer dried seaweed tied to a rock or use a veggie clip, and feed at least 3 times per week. Sea Veggies, Seaweed Salad and Ocean Nutrition are all ideal products and are very easy to use.
