Care guidelines

The Naso Tang demands a spacious home: plan for a minimum tank size of about 100 gallons, with a larger tank preferred for adult individuals. Maintain stable water conditions: temperature 76–82°F, pH 8.1–8.4, salinity 1.023–1.025, and strong, efficient filtration. Provide a varied diet rich in marine algae, including Nori sheets, spirulina-based foods, and high-quality pellets or flakes.

Quarantine new arrivals and introduce them gradually to prevent stress. Offer ample hiding places and a thriving live rock system to support grazing and natural behavior.
