As a juvenile, this fish is a vibrant yellow, and as they mature they become more of a brown-mauve coloration with light blue dots along the body. They also exhibit yellow rings around the eyes. This fish originates from the Indian Ocean, and is known to be semi-aggressive. It is important to provide a varied diet with both veggie and meat based foods. Feeding vitamin C soaked pellets everyday can help with boosting the fish's immune system, preventing disease! Do not mix with other Ctenochaetus sp. tangs!
