Orange Shoulder Tang owner review
Some information about the Orangeshoulder Tang from my views and some from the internet.
Scientific name: (Acanthurus olivaceous)
Minimum tank size: 75-125 gallons is the range I am seeing online, I would say 125 gallons because this fish can get large (12-14" long) and swims around alot.
Food: Mine loves all food, I have a mix of different Pellets that I feed mid day and a mix of frozen at night.
Care/Compatibility: So far seems hardy and gets alone with other Tangs, Chromis, Anthias, Angelfish, and more. I have not had many issue with him fighting with another fish.
Reef Safe: So far I have not had any issues. I have mainly SPS corals and a Tube Anemone.
Other: Juvenile Orangeshoulder is yellow. Once it grows and changes to an adult it is Black/grey on the back half of the body and white on the front with an orange strip on the shoulder area. Mine has some blue around the mouth and on the fin. I do notice mine likes to stick its head out of the water for about 1 hour a day, not sure why it is doing this.
