The Mustard Tang (\u003cem\u003eAcanthurus pyroferus\u003c\/em\u003e) delivers exactly that — a warm, rich mustard-yellow to golden-brown body tone that reads differently under reef lighting depending on the specimen and maturity, giving it a depth and warmth that more commonly kept tangs simply don't have. Known also as the Mimic Tang for its remarkable juvenile resemblance to the Lemonpeel Angel, the Mustard Tang is a species that rewards a second look — the closer you watch it, the more interesting it becomes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's an active, confident swimmer that adapts readily to established reef systems and gets along well with most tankmates outside of other tangs. Reef safe and hardy once acclimated, it's a solid beginner-friendly keeper that works in a wide range of system sizes. Feed a varied diet heavy in nori and algae to maintain that signature warm coloration and it will be a long-term fixture in your tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Stats \u0026amp; Care Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMustard Tang \/ Mimic Tang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eAcanthurus pyroferus\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMedium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBeginner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSemi-aggressive (territorial with other tangs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePrimarily herbivorous — nori, algae, spirulina; supplement with mysis and pellets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eYes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e125 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTemp 74–80°F | Sal 1.020–1.025 | pH 8.1–8.4 | High flow | High oxygenation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Buy From The Coral Boutique?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery specimen we ship has been quarantined, conditioned, and eating before it leaves our facility.
