More about Naso tang

The Naso tang, also known as the Blonde Naso Tang (Naso lituratus), is an eye-catching marine fish, primarily distinguished by its sleek body adorned with a blend of grey, blue, and varying degrees of yellow towards the tail and dorsal fin, particularly in males. Originating from the Pacific and Indian Oceans, this species showcases a unique appearance with its prominent horn-like protrusions above the eyes, a characteristic from which its name is derived. Well-regarded within the aquarium hobby for its vivid colors and peaceful demeanor, the Naso tang has become a popular choice among enthusiasts, although its requirement for a spacious tank due to its potential size is a critical consideration for proper care.
