Why We Like It:

Striking and uncommon, the Freckle Face Tang features a speckled face, bold body stripes, and strong swimming behaviour. It needs a large tank with plenty of rockwork and swimming space but rewards keepers with constant motion and algae control. A rare centrepiece for serious tang enthusiasts.
