The Achilles Tang is a striking and highly sought-after surgeonfish, instantly recognized by its deep black body, bright orange spot near the tail, and vivid white markings on the dorsal and anal fins. Known for its active swimming and bold presence, it adds both color and dynamic movement to larger aquariums.
Size: Typically grows up to 9 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific
Latin Name:Acanthurus achilles
Care Level: Difficult – thrives in well-established aquariums with ample swimming space, strong water flow, and very stable water conditions
Achilles Tangs are herbivores that primarily graze on marine algae, though they will accept prepared herbivore foods as well. They are generally considered reef-safe with caution, as they may occasionally nip at soft corals or clam mantles.
