|sexing=:Very difficult to visually sex this fish.
 
+
|tank_compatibility=:Territorial to others of it's own species or other Tangs or Surgeonfish. Reef compatible otherwise and peaceful towards other fish and invertebrates.
     
+
|diet=:Primarily grazes on algae, provide a healthy established reef system and supplement with foods such as [[spirulina]]. May accept small meaty foods like [[brine shrimp]].
== Sexing ==
+
|feeding_regime=:Feed once or twice a day.
:Very difficult to visually sex this fish.
+
|environment_specifics=:Difficult to keep in captivity. Prefers very large tanks with lots of swimming space. If it's environment and food is not perfect, it can be susceptible to diseases such as [[Ich]]. In the wild it lives in the surge zone of the reef, therefore will appreciate a wave maker in captivity. Needs a salinity of around 1.020.
 
+
|behaviour=:A territorial fish towards other Tangs or fish that resemble Tangs in body shape, peaceful towards other fish.
     
+
|identification=:Striking orange on black markings. Typical oval [[:Category:Tangs|Tang]] body shape, black base colour with white edging to fins and gills, orange tail and a tear drop shaped orange marking at the base of the tail. These markings will show true when the fish is mature, and may differ in juveniles.
