Sailfin Tang

Zebrasoma veliferum

Reef Safe

Add a touch of grace and majesty to your marine aquarium with the Sailfin Tang. Known for its vibrant coloration and distinctive sail-like dorsal fin, this fish commands attention as it gracefully glides through the water. As a herbivore, the Sailfin Tang plays a valuable role in maintaining a healthy reef ecosystem by grazing on algae, helping to prevent overgrowth and maintain water quality. While generally peaceful, it's essential to provide ample swimming space and hiding spots to prevent aggression, especially in smaller or overcrowded tanks. The Sailfin Tang thrives in well-established reef environments with strong water flow and abundant algae growth. Regular offerings of high-quality seaweed or algae-based foods help satisfy its dietary needs and promote optimal health and coloration. With its striking appearance and beneficial grazing habits, the Sailfin Tang is a prized addition to reef aquariums, contributing both beauty and functionality to the underwater landscape.
