Why We Like It:

One of the most recognisable and personable tangs in the hobby, the Naso Tang combines elegant streamers, bold facial markings, and constant open-water movement. Generally peaceful for its size, it adapts well to community reef systems provided there is ample swimming space. A fantastic algae grazer and true showpiece fish for large marine aquariums.
