Scopas Tang

  • Zebrasoma Tangs should be added to aquariums with plenty of swim room and rockwork for grazing and hiding.

  • Tank size should be considered before purchasing as the adult zebrasoma Tangs can become quite large.

  • Also known as surgeon fish because of the sharp spine at the base of their tail. This "scalpel" is used for protection, handle carefully as it is very sharp.

  • They are considered reef safe but may pick at small, mobile and sessile invertebrates if not well fed. Provide a varied diet of marine meaty and algae based foods.

  • Zebrasoma Tangs have been known to be aggressive towards similarly shaped Tangs.

  • They can grow to almost 8".

 

We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 125 gallons or larger for this species.
