The Fowleri Tang or Horseshoe Surgeonfish makes a great addition to a reef or peaceful fish only community tank and will look absolutely amazing under correct lighting. What makes this fish special is its beauty, gentle demeanor and gracefulness as it swims around the tank; it seems to glide effortlessly around on auto-pilot searching for its next area to graze. The Fowleri or Horseshoe Tang will grow large so have adequate swimming area ; The Fowleri Tang is rarely in stock so don't miss out if you see this beauty available.
Have plenty of live rock in your tank. Tangs will graze on the live rock and it will provide necessary shelter areas and swim pass-throughs.
Tangs will eat just about all fish foods; Ocean Nutrition Pellets are a perfect diet. Feed tangs with plenty of marine-based seaweed, as this will keep them healthy. Try putting seaweed on a veggie clip, or break into small pieces and feed 2-3 times per week. Ocean Nutrition Seaweed contains garlic which helps the immune system in these colorful fish.
