Eyestripe Surgeonfish — quick facts
Care & aquarium requirements
Tangs and surgeonfish are among the best-selling marine ornamental fish in the world, prized for bold colour, constant activity and their useful appetite for algae. They need open swimming space and a diet rich in marine algae and seaweed to stay in top condition.
Compatibility & reef behaviour
Tangs are reef-safe and generally peaceful toward other fish, but can be aggressive toward their own kind, so are usually kept one to a species in all but large systems. The scalpel-like spine at the tail base means they should be handled with care. See our tang buyer guide.
Export packaging & shipping
This species carries spines or a sharp caudal scalpel, so it is double or triple bagged to prevent it from puncturing the bag in transit — a key part of how we protect both the fish and its bagmates. Like all our stock it is purged, bagged in pure oxygen and insulated for the shortest reliable route. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
