Description:
The Clown Tang aka Clown Surgeonfish, Lined Surgeonfish, or Blue-banded Surgeonfish can be a snarly tank mate if added first. We recommend adding this fish after all others to reduce the aggressiveness of this fish due to territorial behavior. A gorgeous fish with blue and yellow alternating lines running down the length of the body. It can be a difficult fish to keep but it a reef safe option adding color and diversity to your tank. Tangs are prone to ICH and we strongly encourage you to use a QT before adding to your main display tank.
