Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma veliferum) | Digital Marine Atlas

The Grand Master of the Reef

The Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma veliferum) is one of the most majestic species in the surgeonfish family. Named for its massive dorsal and anal fins that can be raised like a ship's sails, this fish creates a breathtaking display of size and pattern.

Native to the vast waters of Oceania and the Great Barrier Reef, the Sailfin Tang features intricate vertical stripes and spots. It is a vital member of the reef ecosystem, constantly grazing on algae. Due to its impressive adult size of up to 40 cm, it requires a spacious aquarium to thrive.
