Halfblack Mimic Tang

The Half Black Mimic Tang (Acanthurus chronixis), also known as the Orangeshoulder Surgeonfish, is prized for its striking appearance and peaceful demeanor in saltwater aquariums. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, they thrive in reef environments with ample hiding spots among live rock formations. Reef-safe and herbivorous, they reach sizes of 8-10 inches and can live for 5-7 years with proper care. Their diet should include marine flakes, pellets, and algae to maintain health and vibrant coloration. While primarily wild-caught, sourcing from reputable suppliers like Saltwaterfish.com is recommended. Compatible with various fish and invertebrates, they require a tank size of at least 120 gallons with stable water parameters.
