Description: This is a hardy, reef-safe fish that would make an awesome beginner tang for aquarists that are apprehensive about the sensitive genera of surgeonfish. The Scopas Tang comes from many different areas in the Indo-Pacific. This fish is light brown in color on the face and transitions to a dark brown color towards the caudal fin. This tang is great for grazing on algae in the reef tank. Tangs are especially prone to disease, so a UV sterilizer and protein skimmer are STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. Do not mix with other Zebrasoma sp. tangs OR proceed with CAUTION.
