Ctenochaetus strigosus "Kole Tang" - Medium
The Kole Tang is warm brown in color with many very fine, light-colored horizontal lines. Its eye is encircled by yellow, and the face is often speckled with light blue dots. The Kole tang is a smaller type of tang reaching only about six inches in length. They are favored by aquarists for their algae appetites.
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, formula foods, 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 get territorial and aggressive towards similar tangs, so always use caution when keeping these fish together.
