Goldrim Tang (Acanthurus japonicus) | Digital Marine Atlas

The Elegant Reef Grazer

​The Goldrim Tang (Acanthurus japonicus), also known as the Whitecheek Tang, is a favorite among aquarists for its subtle yet striking beauty. Its body is a deep charcoal brown, framed by electric blue lines and a brilliant yellow border along its dorsal and anal fins, accented by a distinct white patch on its cheek.

Como indican los símbolos científicos, esta especie es un pacífico pez comunitario que prospera en acuarios con mucho espacio para nadar y rocas para pastar. Es omnívoro/herbívoro y se alimenta principalmente de algas y pequeños invertebrados, por lo que es excelente para ayudar a mantener limpios los acuarios.
