Tennenti Tang
Tennenti Tang, Acanthurus tennenti, is an extraordinarily unique Tang whose understated beauty is not commonly recognized. This is one of the Tangs that undergoes a change in coloration from juvenile to adult stages. The juvenile is a deep yellow-gold, while the adult displays the distinctive coloration as seen pictured. Relatively peaceful, it will tolerate other types of Tangs, but should be the first one in the aquarium. It requires plenty of swimming room and will need to have its diet supplemented with fresh zucchini, broccoli and spinach. It is reported to be a voracious filamentous “hair” algae eater and is considered to be reef safe.
Approximate Arrival Size for Tangs: Small: 1 to 2"; Medium: 2 to 4"; Large: 4 to 5"
