Scopas Tang
Snapshot: Also known as the Brown Sailfin Tang. Its body morphs from gray to brown, yellow, and white, with a gradient that goes from light to dark. This gorgeous body also has delicate light blue markings, adding an extra layer of intricate beauty.
Other tidbits: Can grow up to 20cm or so. Range extends from the Red Sea, eastwards through to the Indo-Pacific region and through to the east Pacific. As juveniles, they start out in vibrant yellow, then deepen into maturity with darker hues.
Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, fish-only system, or reef aquarium.
Aquarium set-up: Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine partial water changes.
Feeding: For tangs, algae is king! Load up on algae-based essentials like toasted nori sheets, algae flakes, and pellets. And for a gourmet twist, treat them to frozen brine shrimp enriched with spirulina. It's an algae feast fit for royalty!
AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
