Blonde Naso Tang (8") with Streamers
Transform Your Tank with a Rare Color Variant of One of the Hobby's Most Majestic Tangs
Looking for a Naso Tang that stands apart even in a tank full of showpiece specimens? The Blonde Naso is a naturally occurring color variant of the standard Naso Tang — lighter in body tone with golden-blonde hues that give it a distinctly warm, luminous appearance. At 8" with fully developed streamers, this is a mature male in his prime: the elongated tail streamers are a sign of peak condition and are one of the most visually dramatic features any tang can display. This is a rare find at this size and coloration.
Naso Tangs are active, open-water swimmers that need large systems and high flow to thrive. They're generally peaceful with other species, making them compatible with a wide range of reef inhabitants. Feed a varied diet heavy in algae and nori to maintain that signature blonde coloration. A specimen like this deserves a tank built around it.
