A very peaceful species that usually ignores other fish, even if they are introduced after it. It will display to females and other males by erecting all its fins to show off its wonderful coloration.

This is the largest species of bristletooth tang, with a marked change between juvenile and adult coloration. Juveniles are almost exclusively imported and usually only found in deep-water, coral-rich areas.

A fairly uncommon fish in the aquarium trade, yet one that should be much better known and more popular than it is. It combines the intriguing characteristics of the hawkfish family with some of the behavior of pelagic planktonivorous fish.

A beautiful and highly desirable Red Sea species. It is available at very small sizes that will develop into hardy specimens. It grows larger than the yellow sailfin tang (Z. flavescens), a point to note if you plan to introduce both species. In most situations, and regardless of the other species stocked, this species will become the dominant fish in any aquarium.
