The Chevron Tang (\u003cem\u003eCtenochaetus hawaiiensis\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the most sought-after tangs in the saltwater aquarium hobby — and for good reason. Juveniles display a breathtaking pattern of electric orange-red with vivid chevron markings that few marine specimens can rival. As one of the rarer Hawaiian endemics available to buy online, this is a specimen that experienced aquarists actively seek out and rarely pass up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 4.5\", this individual is well past the fragile juvenile stage and has grown into one of its most visually stunning phases. Chevron Tangs are active, curious additions to a large saltwater tank, spending their days grazing algae off rockwork and asserting a confident presence. Watching one mature through its dramatic color transformation — from juvenile brilliance into the deep, marbled tones of adulthood — is one of the most rewarding long-term experiences a marine aquarium can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chevron Tang, Hawaiian Surgeonfish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate (benefits from stable water quality and a well-established system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive (may show aggression toward similar species; best kept one per tank)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbivore — primarily algae, supplemented with nori, spirulina, and high-quality frozen foods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (will not bother corals; excellent natural algae grazer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72–78°F | pH 8.1–8.4 | Salinity 1.020–1.025 | High flow recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery specimen we ship from The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, individually quarantined, and conditioned in our facility until it is actively feeding and fully stable — so it arrives ready to thrive, not just survive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Coral Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67699185221907,"sku":null,"price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3647\/2595\/files\/IMG-4064.png?v=1792359663","url":"https:\/\/thecoralboutique.com\/products\/rare-chevron-tang-4-5","provider":"The Coral Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
