Description

The Lavender Tang, also known as the Spot-Cheeked Surgeonfish, travels in large schools on the reefs of Hawaii. This beautiful fish is colored in tones of lavender and tan, and has multiple orange spots on the face. The orange spots give away to many small black spots covering the rest of the body, and the tail is forked.

Live rock is preferred by the Lavender Tang Fish or Spot-Cheeked Surgeonfish for grazing, and will provide plenty of structure for hiding places and territories. It is aggressive toward other Tangs and Surgeonfish, but peaceful with other fish.
