Curator's Note

The Achilles Tang has a striking black body with red and white accents. This attractive fish is considered a nervous swimmer as it frequently paces back and forth. Not providing a large enough space for this nervous fish to move around in will likely see a very short life span. Prefers turbulent water flow and a large open water column with unobstructed swimming space. Will frequently attack and harass other members of the acanthurid family – especially other Acanthurus tangs. It is best kept as the only tang (and possibly only large) species in your fish only or reef aquarium. Beneficial in helping pick at hair algae, Tangs will spend their day picking at rockwork in search for hair algae and other marine algaes to eat.
