Description
Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma veliferum)
The Sailfin Tang is a large and graceful surgeonfish, easily recognized by its tall, sail-like dorsal fin, vibrant body stripes, and contrasting yellow and white markings. Its elegant swimming and bold coloration make it a standout centerpiece in both reef and fish-only aquariums.
Size: Typically grows up to 12 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific
Latin Name: Zebrasoma veliferum
Care Level: Moderate – thrives in well-established aquariums with ample swimming space, strong water flow, and stable water conditions
Sailfin Tangs are herbivores that primarily graze on marine algae, and they readily accept prepared herbivore foods. They are generally considered reef-safe, though underfed individuals may occasionally nip at soft corals or clam mantles.
