Description: The Tennenti Tang is distinguished by its tan, gray coloration and black marks behind its eyes. It also has blue highlights on the caudal fin. This fish originates from the Indo-Pacific and would be an awesome addition to larger reef, fish only, or FOWLR aquaria. Do not mix with other similar Acanthurus sp. tangs (ex: Orange Shoulder Tang). Protein skimmer and UV sterilization is highly recommended. Make sure to provide plenty of seaweed along with protein-rich fatty foods. This fish will also appreciate plenty of rockwork to swim between and hide in.
