Sailfin Tang

Sailfin tangs are striking large fish prized for their dramatic dorsal and anal fins that extend like sails when displaying. These active swimmers require substantial aquarium space—minimum 180 gallons for adults—and thrive in established reef or FOWLR systems with strong water flow and stable parameters. They're herbivorous grazers that help control algae growth while feeding on quality marine flake and vegetable-based pellets. Hardy and long-lived when properly acclimated, sailfin tangs make a bold centerpiece for experienced aquarists seeking a visually commanding presence.
