Description

The Dusumieri Tang Fish, also known as the Eyestriped Surgeonfish, is a true standout in the show aquarium thanks to its friendly demeanor, impressive size, and elite status within the hobby. The Dusumieri Tang has distinctive orange stripes across its eyes, an orange/tan body, and wavy blue lines covering from head to tail. Its colors intensify in response to threats or to display moods. In its natural habitat, the Dussumieri Tang is generally found 30 feet or deeper on seaward reefs.

Dusumieri Tang or Eyestriped Surgeonfish require large amounts of live rock to provide both plenty of swimming room, and territories within the live rock. Although Dusumieri Tangs or Eyestriped Surgeonfishes will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine based seaweed and algae.
