Known for its jet-black body covered in a galaxy of brilliant white-to-blue spots and a vibrant yellow tail, this reef-safe surgeonfish commands a premium price due to its rare collection from deep-water surge zones in the Western Indian Ocean.Core Requirements \u0026amp; Quick SpecsMinimum Tank Size: 180 gallons is heavily recommended to accommodate their highly active nature and long-term growth.Adult Size: Can grow up to 8 to 10 inches in length.Lifespan: 10 to 15+ years with proper care and stable water parameters.Temperament: Semi-aggressive. They are generally peaceful toward non-tang tank mates but can become highly territorial toward similar-looking Zebrasoma species (such as Yellow or Purple Tangs).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otQkpb\" aria-level=\"3\" role=\"heading\" data-animation-nesting=\"\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"a7qCn\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"BEIv7e_1s\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-processed=\"true\" data-sae=\"\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; margin: 24px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eEssential Care Guidelines\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"KsbFXc U6u95\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"mPWODf\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"BEIv7e_1w\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-processed=\"true\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 12px 0px 16px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"Z1qcYe\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"oSLmPe\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"BEIv7e_1x\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-hveid=\"CAIIAAgPEAA\" data-complete=\"true\" data-sae=\"\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px 0px 12px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"T286Pc\" data-sfc-cp=\"\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"fly6D\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"BEIv7e_1y\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003e\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" jsaction=\"\" jscontroller=\"zYmgkd\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" jsuid=\"BEIv7e_1z\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(10, 10, 10);'\u003eHerbivorous Diet\u003c!--TgQPHd|[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e: They are primarily grazers.
