Naso Tang (Naso lituratus) | Digital Marine Atlas

The Elegant Lipstick Tang

The Naso Tang (Naso lituratus) is one of the most distinctive surgeonfish in the ocean. Often called the "Lipstick Tang" due to the bright orange lips that contrast with its dark face, this species is a true showstopper.

With its sleek grey body, bright yellow dorsal fin, and striking facial markings, the Naso Tang brings a touch of modern art to the reef aquarium. It is a large, active swimmer that grazes on macroalgae, making it both beautiful and beneficial for controlling algae growth.

This CECOZ Digital Marine Atlas edition combines cinematic 4K marine artwork with accurate scientific information — delivering both a stunning visual experience and a practical educational reference.
