Orange shoulder tang

The Orange shoulder tang (Acanthurus olivaceus) is a marine fish notable for its striking coloration, with a body that transitions from a bluish-gray to a darker shade towards the rear, accented by a vivid orange patch on its side just behind the head. It is native to the Indo-Pacific region. This species is recognizable by its elongated body and the sharp spine located on its caudal peduncle, typical of the surgeonfish family. While appreciated for its beauty, the Orange shoulder tang is not as commonly known in the aquarium hobby as some other tang species, but it does have a presence among enthusiasts who value its coloration and relatively peaceful demeanor for a marine aquarium setting.
