Ctenochaetus striatus


(0 Reviews)

The Striated Tang (Ctenochaetus striatus), also known as the Orange Stripe Tang, can be found widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific and into the Red Sea. They have a dark brown or maroon body with horizontal stripes and occasional spots on their face. They are herbivorous, feeding on macro algae and seaweed, and should have plenty of space to swim. They reach a maximum size of 10 inches, require a tank of at least 150 gallons, and should be kept with other fish of similar size and temperament. They require plenty of space to swim and graze, and are beneficial to reef aquariums as they help remove unwanted algae from corals or rocks.
