Description
The Brown Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma scopas) is a resilient and attractive surgeonfish, easily recognized by its broad, sail-like dorsal fin and rich brown-to-golden coloration. Highly active, it constantly grazes on algae, making it both a functional algae controller and a visually appealing addition to reef aquariums.
A large, mature aquarium of at least 125 gallons is required, with strong water movement and open swimming areas to accommodate its energetic nature. Like most tangs, it is best kept singly unless housed in a very large system and introduced together, as territorial behavior may develop.
Their diet should be primarily algae-based, including marine seaweed and spirulina, along with high-quality herbivore preparations. Occasional supplements of mysis shrimp or krill provide variety and balanced nutrition. Consistent algae feedings are essential to strengthen immunity, reduce stress and aggression, and enhance coloration.
The Brown Sailfin Tang is available now at Ocean in a Box, offered at the best price for your reef aquarium.
