Tangs are commonly referred to as surgeon fish due to having a sharp spine that looks like a "scalpel" at the base of their caudal (tail) fin that is used for protection, so use caution when handling. Adults tend to live alone in the wild, so they should not be kept with fish that look similar, like other tangs, though they should be peaceful towards most other tank mates. Adult Lieutenant Tangs are found inhabiting lagoons and seaward reefs of the Indian Ocean. They will grow to be about 10" in size and have a tan body with darker outlining and vibrant blue colorations. Full grown adults of this tang will need around 180 gallons; however, you can get away with smaller aquariums when they are juveniles.
