Long nose Black Tang

Longnose Black Tang

The Longnose Black Tang is a striking and highly sought-after marine fish, admired for its deep black coloration, elongated snout and distinctive streamlined shape. Its bold appearance makes it a fantastic feature fish for a mature marine aquarium.

With its unusual long nose and elegant swimming style, this tang adds plenty of character to a reef or fish-only system. Like other tangs, it benefits from a varied diet with plenty of marine algae and seaweed to support healthy growth and maintain its condition.

Care requirements:

• Difficulty: Intermediate to advanced
• Diet: Herbivore — algae, seaweed and a varied marine diet
• Temperament: Can be territorial, particularly towards other tangs
• Aquarium: Requires a spacious, mature marine aquarium with plenty of swimming room
• Reef safe: Generally reef compatible

A superb choice for experienced marine aquarists looking for something distinctive and less commonly seen in the hobby.
