Description
The Clown Tang is a vibrantly colored saltwater fish that is popular among aquarists. It's known for its unique pattern of blue and yellow stripes and spots, which are reminiscent of a clown's costume. This fish is also characterized by its active swimming habits and its tendency to be territorial.
Reef Safe
Yes, but with caution. While the Clown Tang won't harm corals, it may nip at small invertebrates and can potentially cause stress to other reef inhabitants due to its aggressive nature.
Environment
This species requires a large tank with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots. The tank should also have a strong current and high-quality filtration to mimic its natural ocean habitat.
Behavior
The Clown Tang is known for its active swimming habits and can often be seen darting around the tank. It is also highly territorial and can be aggressive towards other fish, especially those of the same species or those that invade its space.
