Description: Naso Tangs are good fish for a beginner aquarist. They should be predominantly fed algae based foods. This fish hails from a wide range in the Indo-Pacific. This species has a black dorsal fin compared to its cousin, the Blonde Naso from the Indian Ocean. A large tank size is a must, as they grow large and can reach 15". They should be cautiously mixed with conspecific species, such as other unicorn tangs.
