The Orange shoulder Tang is also known as the Orange-epaulette Surgeonfish, Orange spot Surgeonfish, Orangeband Surgeonfish, and Orange shoulder Surgeonfish. As a juvenile, it is solid yellow, with just the slightest hint of blue fringing on the anal and dorsal fins. As an adult, the front half of the body turns light grey and the back half takes on a dark grey-blue colour. Above the pectoral fins is an eye-catching orange stripe that is outlined by the dark grey colour. The tail takes on a lyre shape.
A 680L or larger aquarium is necessary to provide plenty of swimming room. It is not aggressive towards other Tangs. If housing more than one, it is best to add a juvenile to the aquarium that contains an adult.
Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine based seaweed and algae. This will strengthen their immune system, reduce aggression and improve their overall health. Offer dried seaweed tied to a rock or use a veggie clip, and feed at least 3 times per week.
