About Fowlers Surgeonfish

General information

The Fowleri Tang is one of the more beautiful tropical Tangs. A blue head with characteristic arcing lines behind the eye sets this species apart from other tangs. A brown body, yellow dorsal fin, and white lyre accent on the tail also make this specimen a true standout. In its natural habitat, the Fowleri Tang is generally found in clear seaward reefs and drop-offs. A very large established aquarium with large amounts of live rock is necessary to provide both plenty of swimming room and territories within the live rock. These are great fish for controlling algae in the saltwater fish or reef aquarium.
