Why We Like It:

A huge, intelligent open-water tang with flowing movement and incredible adult colouration, the Vlamingii Tang becomes a true giant in the home aquarium. Juveniles are understated, but adults develop electric blue facial markings and dramatic body patterning. Peaceful for its size and constantly active, it requires a very large tank with strong flow and extensive swimming space. An impressive centrepiece species for serious large-system keepers.
