Two Spot Bristletooth Tang Ctenochaetus binotatus

The Two Spot Bristletooth Tang is a hardy, algae-grazing specialist prized for reef maintenance and community tanks. Named for the distinctive dark spots behind its eyes, this species uses its specialized bristle-like teeth to methodically consume filamentous and turf algae, making it an excellent biological control option. Moderately sized and generally peaceful, it thrives in established systems with stable water parameters and adequate grazing grounds. Best suited for aquarists with intermediate experience seeking a functional, visually striking addition to their reef ecosystem.
