The Orange Shoulder Tang is a very overlooked fish. Its colors are not very bright, but with the brownish-olive two tone coloration accented by the bright orange bar on its shoulder, it is actually a very beautiful fish to have in an aquarium. The body of this fish during its juvenile stage is bright yellow, lacking the orange spot which develops as it matures.

Thinking about adding a Surgeonfish to your tank? See the Saltwater Aquarium Fish Compatibility Chart first.
