About Dussumieri Tang

General information

The Dussumieri Tang is a true standout in the show aquarium thanks to its friendly demeanor, impressive size, and elite status within the hobby. The Dussumieri Tang has distinctive orange stripes across its eyes, an orange/tan body, and wavy blue lines covering from head to tail. Its colors intensify in response to threats or to display moods. In its natural habitat, the Dussumieri Tang is generally found 30 feet or deeper on seaward reefs. A very larger aquarium with plenty of water movement, large amounts of live rock to provide both plenty of swimming room, and territories within the live rock is necessary. These are great fish for controlling algae in the saltwater fish or reef aquarium.
