View Marine Fish Compatibility Chart Acanthurus lineatus The Clown Tang is found widespread from the Western Indian Ocean to the central Pacific Ocean. The coloration of these tangs can vary a little between each specimen. In general, they have a bright yellow to bright orange body with a grayish belly. They are adorned with several blue stripes running horizontally along their bodies as well as bluish markings on their pectoral, anal, and dorsal fins. They will use their spines as a weapon against other fish that threaten them. A Clown Tang can reach up to 15 inches in length and requires an aquarium of at least 250 gallons with live rock and plenty of room to swim. |
