Description
Members of the Zebrasoma family are considered true 'Tangs'. They are excellent for consuming filamentous algae and have reportedly even occasionally consume bubble algae (valonia).

The Desjardini Sailfin Tang is the largest of the tangs and requires a very large system and may establish a territory and fight with tankmates with similar body shapes.
Diet
Will consume filamentous algae as well as frozen mysis shrimp and other meaty foods. It is recommended to regularly feed Nori as a marine algae suppliment. If underfed it may pick at small polyped stony corals.
