Description
Prionurus laticlavius
Tangs are also known as surgeon fish in the industry due to them having a sharp spine that looks like a “scalpel” at the base of their caudal (tail) fin. They use this as protection against predators, use caution when handling. In the wild, adults tend to live alone, so they should not be housed with fish that look similar, like other tangs. Tangs should be peaceful towards most other tank mates.
