Naso elegans "Blonde Naso Tang" - Medium/Large
The Blonde Naso Tang is a color variant of the Naso or Lipstick Tang. The entire dorsal fin of the Blonde Naso is yellow or yellow-orange. The anal fin is orange with blue-black trim and the base of the tail is orange. The caudal fin itself has a yellow vertical bar on the rear edge. The body is grey-brown and often lighter on the dorsal side. The fish also has red or orange lips and a yellow-edged, black mask that covers the snout and eyes.
Like other tangs, these fish are omnivores. They need plenty of algae and other greens in their diet to keep them healthy, but will also eat small bits of meaty foods. Algae can be provided in the form of Spirulina, dried marine algae on clips as a frequent treat, or through live algae grown in the tank or in a refugium.
Tangs are generally community fish and get along with most other tankmates. They do not bother corals and can actually help keep nuisance algae trimmed and under control. Tangs may become territorial and aggressive towards very similar tankmates or tangs from the same genus, so always use caution when keeping these fish together.
