Chocolate Tang (Acanthurus pyroferus) Mature

The Chocolate Tang, sometimes referred to as a Mimic Tang is a semi-aggressive fish. They can grow up to 8 inches and will require an aquarium of at least 120 gallons or more with plenty of swim room as well as rock work to forage and hide in when they feel threatened. This tang will get along with other fish, but it may become territorial with other tangs. It is an herbivore and benefits from foods that include algae or supplemental algae sheet feedings.

This fish is guaranteed for live arrival.
