Naso Tang - Large

The Naso Tang (Large) is a striking and highly active saltwater fish known for its elongated body, bold coloration, and constant cruising behavior. Also called the Lipstick Tang, this species is a showpiece addition for large reef or fish-only marine aquariums.

Large Naso Tangs are excellent algae grazers and help keep rockwork and surfaces clean while adding nonstop movement to the tank. Due to their adult size and activity level, they require a spacious aquarium with strong water flow and plenty of swimming room.
