The Orange Shoulder Tang starts off with a bright yellow body as a juvenile then as an adult becomes a grayish color with a thick orange stripe with a blue accent above its pectoral fins and darker shades towards the tailfin , the tail will become more pointed.
The Orange Shoulder Tang is an active and peaceful fish ; have plenty of swimming area available for the Orange Shoulder Tang, keep only one per tank with the exception of larger systems.
Have plenty of live rock in your tank. Tangs will graze on the live rock and it will provide necessary hiding 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.
