ULTRA BLUE FACE KOI TANG (Approximately 3 to 4 Inches)
Transform Your Tank with One of the Rarest Aberrant Tangs in the Hobby
Looking for a genuine grail piece for your saltwater aquarium? The Ultra Blue Face Koi Tang is a naturally aberrant Acanthurus tristis, carrying bold koi blotching across the body and a deep blue mask through the face. Patterning is unique to each specimen, and Ultra grade examples like this one surface only a handful of times a year. Available now at The Coral Boutique.
At full size this species reaches roughly 10 to 12 inches, so plan for open swimming lanes and plenty of rockwork to graze. It stays active through the whole photoperiod and holds its contrast under reef lighting, which makes it one of the strongest centerpiece options you can put in a large marine aquarium. Semi-aggressive toward similar body shapes, so introduce it last or build the display around it.
