Description
The Lavender Tang, also known as the Spot-Cheeked Surgeonfish, is a beautiful fish that exhibits a lavender color that darkens to a deep purple shade towards the tail. It has a teardrop-shaped body and a singular, white vertical bar behind the eye. The Lavender Tang is a popular choice among aquarists due to its vibrant color and active nature.
Reef Safe
Yes, the Lavender Tang is considered reef safe but may nip at large-polyped stony corals and clam mantles.
Environment
The Lavender Tang thrives in a large tank with plenty of hiding places and swimming space. It prefers a brightly lit environment with strong water movement.
Behavior
This species is known to be a very active swimmer and requires plenty of space to move around. It can be aggressive towards other tangs and surgeonfish, especially in smaller aquariums.
