Reef Safe
The Striped Surgeonfish, also known as the Clown Tang due to its distinctive striped pattern, is a beautiful and popular addition to reef aquariums. With its vibrant yellow body adorned with bold blue stripes and striking blue eye, this fish adds a splash of color and elegance to any marine setup. While generally considered reef safe with caution, it may occasionally nip at corals or other tank inhabitants, particularly if underfed or housed in cramped conditions. Providing ample swimming space and appropriate hiding spots can help alleviate stress and aggression. With its regal demeanor and captivating appearance, the Striped Surgeonfish is a prized addition for aquarists seeking an eye-catching centerpiece fish for their reef aquarium.
