== Origin ==<br />
:Found in the Western Atlantic, around Bermuda, Florida, the Bahamas and Argentina.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:These fish are able to change sex, females are able to become males when not enough males are present.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:This fish is classified as Vulnerable (VU) on ICUN's Red List,<ref>[http://www.iucnredlist.org/search/details.php/19950/all 2007 ICUN Red List entry for the Rainbow Parrotfish]</ref> it is therefore unlikely to be found available to the pet trade. If it was found, it needs a very large tank and is generally peaceful towards tankmates.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Feeds mainly on algae, specifically benthic algae which it scrapes off rocks with it's beak-like mouth.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Will constantly graze algae.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:This is a large fish and needs a very large tank to accommodate it and with plenty of algae growth to graze on. It also needs caves provided for it as it can be shy.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:An active grazing fish, constantly moving to find new sites on which to feed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Fins are a muted orange in colour with streaks of green running through them and edged with blue. The body oval shaped and is mottled green, blue, brown and muted orange. The dental plates around the mouth are green. No colour difference between sexes.<br />

== Sexing ==<br />
:Males have claspers near the pelvic fins. Females have a clocoa. They can be sexed immidiately after hatching, it is difficult (but not impossible) to sex them while they are in the egg.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Best in a very large species tank and will eat any inverts. It may act aggressively towards other fish if provoked. It will eat any fish that can fit in its mouth.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:A carnivorous fish that will eat a variety of chopped crustaceans, fish pieces, shrimp, shellfish and squid.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
Feed once a day, or every other day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:They need a spacious tank with a large footprint in which to swim with hiding places provided. It requires a sandy substrate in which it may bury itself, however it should not be too coarse as its sensitive belly can scratch on the substrate and become infected. A salinity of 1.020 - 1.025 is required and they are very sensitive to water quality issues and copper-based medicines also.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:An active and curious bottom-dwelling fish that can be startled easily and may spend a large amount of time hidden.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A very elongated shark species with distinctive dark brown banding across the body. It loses this banding to become a pale brown-silver as it matures.<br />

== Sexing ==<br />
:These fish are difficult to sex visually. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A typical oval-shaped Tang which is yellow when juvenile. It has blue highlights around the eyes and gill covers, mimicking the Lemonpeel Angelfish (''[[Centropyge flavissimus]]''). It can also mimic (''[[Centropyge heraldi]]'') and (''[[Centropyge vrolikii]]'') depending on the most common Dwarf Angelfish in the region. When mature, the body colour darkens towards tan with red highlights forming around the eyes and pectoral fins. The dorsal, anal, and caudal fins take on the hues of green but remain tipped with the tan body colour.<br />
<br />
== Behavior ==<br />
:Usually quite passive, but can fend for itself. Is somewhat territorial as an adult, and will not appreciate new additions to the aquarium.<br />
<br />
== Tank Compatibility ==<br />
:Gets along with most dissimilar species given adequate space. It is one of the more peaceful Surgeons, but caution should still be taken when housing it with laterally compressed fish such as Angels and Butterflies. It will not usually bother Sessile Invertebrates as long as proper nutrition is provided. However, an individual that starts eating Corals will likely never stop.<br />
<br />
== Environment Specifics ==<br />
:Prefers a spacious tank with plenty of Live Rock and algae growth and not overly aggressive tank mates. It is also important to note that while juveniles adapt well to captivity, adults are often very difficult to adapt to captive life.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:The Atlantic Blue Tang is found Caribbean and the West Atlantic ocean.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:The ideal tank should have a good water current to play in, a ph of 8.1 – 8.4, temperature between 72°F and 78°F (25°C – 27°C), sg 1.020 – 1.025, dkh 8 – 12°.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Marine algae and plant, and will also accept mostly vegetable matter. They will eat meaty foods, but most of their diet should be plant-based.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed 3 times a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:The Atlantic Blue Tang begins life yellow with a blue ring around the eyes, they then mature to the blue that gives it its common name. This Tang is rounded and laterally depressed. Mature fish have triangular caudal fins, the tips become elongated.<br />

== Sexing ==<br />
:Difficult to visually sex.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Is best kept to the only Tang-like fish in the tank as it may be territorial towards other similar-looking species. Will be otherwise peaceful towards tank mates and is reef-safe.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Will mainly graze on algae and [[spirulina]], and may also take lettuce, dried seaweed and zucchini. When buying these fish be aware that stock can easily starve, do not buy fish with sunken bellies.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed two to three times a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:This is a large active fish needing a laterally spacious tank, they cannot thrive in fish-only saltwater tanks, they need live rock to graze on. They make excellent algae-eaters.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:Active and can be territorial.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Oval-shaped fish, with a steep forehead. The body is bluish grey in colour with numerous yellowish brown spots which tend to form irregular longitudinal lines. The head has narrow irregular stripes and behind eye is a yellow spot. The pectoral fins are brown and there is a white bar at the base of the caudal fin. The white bar around the tail varies in intensity and can be entirely absent. Can be mistaken for ''[[Acanthurus dussumieri]], [[Acanthurus mata]]'' or ''[[Acanthurus xanthopterus]]'' with subtle differences.<br />

== Sexing ==<br />
:These fish are difficult to sex visually. <br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Marine algae as well as meaty foods.<br />
<br />
== Tank Compatibility ==<br />
:Reef safe although sometimes aggressive, especially when housed in too small of a system. It is best to avoid housing this fish with other Surgeons unless the system is very large. Being one of the more aggressive Tangs, it is best to only house it with semi-aggressive species or fish that can hold their own.<br />
<br />
== Environment Specifics ==<br />
:A spacious, mature, and stable tank with established live rock for grazing. Very high current is crucial for the long term success of this fish, due to it being found in strong surge zones in the wild. Without this, it will pace the tank nervously until it injures itself fatally on the tank decor. The stressed fish will likely contract a parasite in the process, and bring the rest of the tank down with it. However, it does tend to be the hardiest/most forgiving of the "Powder" Tangs.<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:This fish can be very tough to differentiate from the closely related [[Acanthurus nigricans]]. The Japan Surgeonfish has a white patch that extends from below the eye down to the mouth, whereas the Goldrim Tang's white patch is only present below the eye, not reaching down to the mouth.<br />

== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:In smaller tanks will be aggressive towards other Tangs of the same species or similar. In larger it tanks should be ok in groups, since travels in large shoals in the wild.<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:A grazer in the wild, proper nutrition is crucial to the success of keeping this fish. These fish are often shipped in with internal Parasites or compromised Gut Bacteria, which is usually fatal lacking proper treatment. As soon as these ailments are treated, they should be offered copious amounts of Nori, Seaweeds, and small meaty foods for nutrition. It is best not to feed Tangs terrestrial greens, as these are practically void of useful nutrition and can contain harmful acids.<br />
<br />
== Behavior ==<br />
:One of the more peaceful Surgeons, it has very small "tangs", and will rarely act aggressively towards other fish. Like all Tangs, caution should be taken when housing it with related or similar looking species. Like its cousins, it is a very active swimmer, and should be housed in a tank no less than 75 Gallons (284 Liters).<br />
<br />
== Environment Specifics ==<br />
:A spacious, mature, and stable tank with lots of algae growth will suit it well. Avoid housing it with aggressive tank mates, especially aggressive Tangs. This fish doesn't have the means to defend itself like other Tangs. Given a suitably sized system (over 125 Gallons/473 Liters), this fish can be housed in groups relatively peacefully.<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Identification is rather straightforward, with a compressed and tall white body that has several black bands. The [[Zebra Tang]], Acanthurus polyzona, looks somewhat similar, although has a much denser banding.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:Indo-Pacific: East Africa, including the Mascarene Islands to Kiribati, north to southern Japan, south to the southern Great Barrier Reef, New Caledonia, and Samoa. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:A reasonably peaceful fish that is usually reef compatible. Should not be kept with other Tangs as it may be territorial towards others of both its own species and those of similar shape.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Mostly Plankivorous in the wild, it will eat most foods, and prefers a varied diet including vegetable matter. Will take [[mysis shrimp]], blanched vegetables and prepared foods.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Needs a large and spacious tank with places to hide and open spaces to swim.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:An active and curious fish that often has a distinct personality. This fish has often been known to "play dead" a lot when first added into the tank. Will often wedge itself into deep crevices, especially when young. Even though they may appear stuck at times, they will not wedge themselves into something they can't get out of.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Thanks to the film 'Finding Nemo', the Regal Tang is now easily identified by most people. It's base colour is a vivid blue/purple with a darker blue/black band across the top half of the body, the pattern will vary from fish to fish. The caudal fin is yellow and outlined in black and the pectoral fins are also tipped with yellow.<br />

:The Unicorn Surgeonfish is blue-green to olive in colour with a blue edge on the dorsal and anal fins and two bright blue dots appear at the peduncle spines near the tail. The horn of the Unicorn Surgeonfish develops when the fish reaches a size of approximately {{in|6}}. It is located far back on the head and does not extend farther than the tip of the snout. It has large, permanently erect peduncle spines which can easily be tangled in a net or cause injury to the handler.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:Pacific Ocean: Honshu, Japan south to the Great Barrier Reef and New Caledonia and east to the Hawaiian Islands, French Polynesia, and Pitcairn.<br />
:Eastern Pacific: Clipperton Island, Indo-Pacific species, Indian Ocean.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:The male has more dramatic finnage with long, streamer-like pennants that extend off the top and bottom tips of the caudal.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Does best in a large tank with other non-aggressive fish. Reef safe.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Will graze on algae, preferring red and brown algae, and will also accept vegetarian foods such as spirulina as well [[mysis shrimp]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed once or twice a day, will graze the tank throughout the day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:These are large active fish preferring a spacious tank with lots of open swimming space. A salinity level of 1.023-1.027 is preferred.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:An active peaceful grazing fish.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Similar to ''[[Naso elegans]]''. The ''N.lituratus'' has a tall and oval-shaped body with a perfect triangle for a caudal fin. The base colour of the fish is beige with a black forehead and eyes. The dorsal and anal fins are black and dark yellow respectively. Its common name refers to the red around the lips. The other common name of "Unicorn" derives from the "horn" that some specimens develop on their foreheads.<br />
<br />
:The Naso has two very sharp, razor-like caudal spines on each side of the tail that are surrounded by a bright orange area, so extreme care should be used when handling this fish.<br />

== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Though ''N.elegans'' is generally peaceful, it may have compatibility issues with other Tangs. Exercise caution when adding multiple tangs to your aquarium.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Though Naso Tangs will readily accept meaty foods in the home aquarium, They need to have algae in their diets. Feed them some greens a few times a week to keep them at optimal health.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Naso Tangs need to be fed a one or more times a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Very similar in shape and colour to the ''[[Naso lituratus]]'', and some believe them to be the same species. The primary difference being the yellow dorsal fin on the ''N.elegans'' and whereas the ''N.lituratus'' is found in the Western and Central Pacific, the ''N.elegans'' is found in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:Western Indian Ocean: Red Sea to the Persian Gulf.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Purple Tangs can be very aggressive to other Tangs, particularly to towards other Zebrosoma species.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:A herbivorous fish, will take dried seaweed, marine algae, [[mysid shrimp]], [[Spirulina]], blanched Romaine Lettuce or fresh seaweed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Ideally they should be fed everyday with 3-4 supplemental feedings of dried algae.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:They are sensitive to water quality, needs an SG of 1.020 - 1.025. As with all Tangs, they need relatively large tanks, over {{gal|75}}.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:It does get territorial and can be aggressive to new additions to the tank as it gets older. Should not be kept with similarly shaped Tangs.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:They have a deep purple-blue body with a bright yellow tail and bright yellow accents on the pectoral fins. They have a single spine (or “scalpel”) on each side used for defence.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:Commonly found in oceans worldwide.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:Males, and females are virtually indistinguishable.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:This fish can be kept solitary, in pairs, or in groups. It cannot be housed with smaller fish as they will be eaten.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:A carnivorous fish that may prove difficult to wean onto dead food. Does well on meaty foods such as freeze-dried/frozen fish and shrimp.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:This fish must have a large tank, ideally a long, and/or circular raceway shaped, if not wide tank with a secure lid as they may jump. Found on open water, and reefs, making them suitable for a non-reef, or reef aquarium depending on preference.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A predator of all zones in the aquarium. Often found solitary or in shoals, with adults commingling with juveniles In the wild.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:An elongated slender fish with a long snout and mouth, the upper jaw being slightly longer than the lower. The body is iridescent silver in colour. The caudal fin is forked with a few black spots on the caudal peduncle. Adults have a dark back for countershading.<br />

<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:The male is larger than the female and also has a long extended dorsal fin, but this is rarely displayed.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Reef compatible, but keep with other peaceful reef fish such as [[Firefish]]. Two male Green Mandarins will fight.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Their diet can be their downfall in captivity, they're known to be very fussy eaters, primarily feeding on copepods and amphipods. Some may take frozen food such as [[brine shrimp]], but most will only accept live foods. If you are considering one of these for your reef tank, check with the store on what it's eating before buying. They're also slow eaters and may have trouble competing for food with faster tank mates. They will graze also on the live rock for algae and other morsels, but can starve if not fed properly. Fortunately, captive-bred specimens are now available; these specimens are raised on non-live foods, and so thus are easier to maintain on such a diet.<br />
<br />
:Be aware that the number one cause of death of this fish is starvation, and most individuals starve in captivity. This is the main reason why it is rated as very difficult. While commonly found in LFS's, and not particularly expensive, most individuals in the stores are already malnourished. A sunk-in abdomen (as viewed from underneath) is a sure-fire sign the fish is starving. Many, if not most, individuals of this species will not acclimate to accepting non-live food. Some aquarists have had success in feeding roe (fish eggs; "caviar" to humans), but this should be enriched with vitamins and HUFA supplements. If you do acquire (or manage to adapt) a specimen eating non-live foods, try feeding vitamin-enriched mysis shrimp - but ensure that there is a plentiful supply of copepods/amphipods anyway.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Twice a day, target feeding is recommended, if the fish is eating non-live foods. Otherwise, be aware that this fish will graze constantly, picking copepods, amphipods, worms, etc. off your live rock and sand.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:A spacious tank is preferred with plenty of hiding places in the live rock. A large amount of live rock (at least 75 lbs/34 kg) and sand are strongly recommended, as this will help ensure a plentiful supply of live food. Moreover, the tank should be well matured, with a large number of visible microcrustaceans on the rock/glass/sand.<br />
<br />
:These fish are sensitive to nitrates in the tank; this needs to be kept below 20ppm.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A slow but colourful fish, often found hiding in the live rock or hovering between caves. Primarily a bottom-dweller, it will "hunt" across the substrate and rock for live food to graze on. It is slower and more methodical than most reef fish, and cannot compete with more active or aggressive tank mates for food.<br />
<br />
:The Green Mandarin is scaleless, and possesses a thick, poisonous slime coat that protects it from most reef predators (those fish large enough to eat it are also smart enough to leave it alone). This same slime coat renders it much more resistant than most marine fish to parasitic infections such as Saltwater "[[Ich]]" (''Cryptocaryon Irritans'') and Marine Velvet (''Amyloodinium Ocellatus''). Note that they are not immune, just highly resistant.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:This fish is simply stunning to look at, and is one of the main draws to keep it in private aquariums. The base colour starts at yellow at the head, running to blue in the mid-section and orange in the tail. Over the top are maze-like stripes in pale blue. The fins are edged with deep blue. They have a relatively short body, large rounded fins, angular head and protruding large eyes. The males have an extended dorsal fin spike.<br />

<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:A peaceful shoaling fish, best kept in groups. May pick parasites off of tank mates. Not safe with small invertebrates or corals, unlike its close relative [[Heniochus diphreutes]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
Carnivorous, should readily accept Mysid Shrimp or Clams, minced or on the half shell.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
Daily, ideally 3 times due to their high metabolism and active nature.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
Fish Only or large Reef Tank free of potential bullies, and with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
Compatible with peaceful fish only. Will not bother most tank mates, but may fight each other with their horn-like projections if space is limited. Not to be trusted with small invertebrates or Corals.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:This fish mimics the [[Moorish Idol]] in colouring, and looks very similar to ''[[Heniochus diphreutes]]'', with a disc-like body shape and two thick black vertical bars. It differs in that its caudal and pectoral fins are yellow, the base colour of the body is iridescent silver and the face has little black and no yellow colouring. This fish also exhibits the elongated scythe-like dorsal fin.<br />
<br />
:Not to be mistaken for ''[[Heniochus chrysostomus]]''.<br />

== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Not reef safe, will eat hard corals and invertebrates. Best in a large fish-only aquarium with similar sized peaceful yet robust fish.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:This Puffer requires a varied diet of meaty foods including squid, krill, clams, and hard shelled shrimp to help wear down their ever growing teeth. Without it, their teeth will fuse together and they will lose the ability to eat.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Most active during the night and therefore is best fed after lights out.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Requires a large wide tank with very secure live rock to provide hiding places. This messy eater requires very strong filtration to keep water quality optimal.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:It will likely become alarmed and puff up when in a net, therefore, use a container to transfer it. It is a sluggish but maneuverable swimmer that is very intelligent, and will likely recognize you as a source of food.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A large and distinctive Puffer which changes appearance during different stages of its life. While in the black phase, it is black with white spots over the entire body. It's this colouration that gives it its common name as it resembles the colours of a Guinea Fowl bird. The golden phase is denoted by its rich burgundy to golden tan colouring with smaller white spots covering its body. It also has a yellow phase, during which, it is lacking the white spots. It very rarely changes phases while living in an aquarium.<br />
:The Golden Puffer lacks pelvic fins, but is very maneuverable, using its pectoral, dorsal, and anal fins. Instead of "teeth," it has a fused beak-like structure which it uses to crush prey.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:Indo-Pacific: East Africa south to Durban, South Africa and east through Indonesia to Samoa, north to southern Japan and south to New Caledonia.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:It is virtually impossible to visually sex these fish.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:This is a large and aggressive fish and should only be housed with similar-tempered fish of the same size. It will eat most invertebrates and small fish and is best in a fish-only set up, not reef. It is best to keep only one Clown Trigger per tank. While small specimens can be housed in community tanks for a short amount of time, these specimens rarely adapt well to captivity.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Feed this fish a mix of shrimp, mussels, squid, [[krill]] and clams. It requires hard-shelled food like some shrimp in order to wear down it's teeth.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed sparingly once or twice a day, these fish have a huge appetite.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Requires a very spacious tank with plenty of open swimming room. Décor must be very secure as this fish will rearrange its surroundings.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:An aggressive predator.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:An exceptionally distinctive fish. It is oval in shape with a prominent beak-like mouth and comparatively small fins. The top half of the body is brown with speckled yellow over the top of the body in front of the pointed dorsal. The dorsal can be raised when displaying or alarmed. The bottom half of the body and belly has large white spots, similar in pattern to that of a giraffe, with brown behind. There is a horizontal white band across the nose in front of the eyes and the beak is yellow. The base of the caudal is brown, the mid section yellow, and the end is banded again in brown.<br />

== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:A highly territorial fish, best kept alone or with other similar sized robust semi-aggressive fish. Will eat smaller fish and invertebrates. Best in fish-only set ups, not reef safe. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:This fish should be provided a varied meaty diet including squid, krill, small fish pieces and hard-shelled shrimp to keep their ever-growing teeth worn down. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed once or twice a day. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Best in a fish-only set up with secure décor as this fish will rearrange its environment and can be destructive. Tank equipment like heaters or thermometers should be protected as this fish can break them. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A highly aggressive and territorial fish, in captivity this fish will terrorize tank mates. Will vocalise with grunting occasionally. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A typical [[:Category:Triggerfish|Triggerfish]] in shape, with an oval body and eyes set far back from the snout, with small caudal and pectoral fins. This fish is beautifully coloured with slender orange/green stripes running diagonally across it's body, it has a large dark brown/black spot at the base of it's caudal fin. The rays on the anal, soft dorsal and pectoral fins are orange.<br />

== Sexing ==<br />
:Difficult to visually sex.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:These fish can be aggressive and will eat inverts around the tank, for that reason this fish is best kept in a fish-only with live rock but not corals set up. Keep only with similar sized robust tank mates, smaller fish may be eaten and shy fish may be bullied.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A medium-range aggressive and territorial Triggerfish. Some have said it peaceful, and amicable, while others claim it's aggressive and territorial. While definitely not as aggressive as the [[Balistapus undulatus|Undulated Triggerfish]], or the [[Balistes vetula|Queen Triggerfish]], it is most definitely more aggressive than, for example a [[Xanthichthys mento|Crosshatch Triggerfish]] or a [[Xanthichthys ringens|Sargassum Triggerfish]]. This fish will move rocks around in search of food, so make sure your aquascape is well secured.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
:Found across most tropical shallow reefs across the globe from the Atlantic through the Indian and on to the Pacific Ocean.<ref>{{FishBase |id=4659}} Distribution</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:Very hard to distinguish between males and females. No records of this fish being bred in captivity.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Not reef safe, keep in a fish only saltwater set up. May nip at other fish, do not keep with smaller fish. Will eat any crustaceans or invertebrates in the tank. Can work with Tangs and Wrasses. This fish is very messy and eats a lot, so adequate filtration must be used to keep water quality optimal.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Needs to eat hard shelled invertebrates to help keep their teeth down. Will also accept meaty frozen foods.<br />

<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Twice a day.<br />
<br />

== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Needs a spacious tank with places to hide and explore. An SG of 1.020 - 1.025 is preferred and good water conditions are a must as this fish can be sensitive to changes.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A very curious, somewhat comical fish. Will puff up if startled, or removed from the water, however be aware that this can cause fatal internal problems so must not be encouraged!<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A short stout body with a short nose and large eyes, a pale yellow base colour with brown blotches, and as it's name suggested, the body is covered with spines which are laid flat when swimming, will be raised and combined with the infamous bloated puffer fish body when startled. The longest spines are on it's head.<br />
:Also known as Bloat in the film Finding Nemo.<br />

<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:Males will be smaller and darker than the female, all Clownfish are born males and the dominant one will become female. This species is harder to pair up than other Clownfish.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Aggressive, highly territorial. Adults will occupy around 50 gallons of territory, and will attack anything entering their territory, including the hand of an Aquarist attempting to clean the tank. House them with Semi-aggressive and Aggressive species that can hold their own, and avoid housing them with peaceful and timid species.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Will take most kinds of marine food including live foods such as [[krill]] and flake.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Associated with the anemone ''[[Entacmaea quadricolor]]''.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Typical oval [[:Category:Clownfish|Clownfish]] shape. Has a distinctive prominent preopercular spine that extends across the head-bar. It has three slender vertical white bands, one over the head, one down the centre of the body and one on the caudal peduncle. Juveniles and males bright red, females become maroon to nearly black.<br />

<br />
== Origin ==<br />
:Western Pacific: Oceanic Islands of Oceania to the Hawaiian and Pitcairn islands. Also known from Wake, Marcus, and Mariana islands. Eastern Central Pacific: southern tip of Baja California, Mexico and other offshore islands.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
:Very difficult to visually sex this fish.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
:Territorial to others of it's own species or other Tangs or Surgeonfish. Reef compatible otherwise and peaceful towards other fish and invertebrates.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
:Primarily grazes on algae, provide a healthy established reef system and supplement with foods such as [[spirulina]]. May accept small meaty foods like [[mysid shrimp]].<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
:Feed once or twice a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
:Difficult to keep in captivity. Prefers very large tanks with lots of swimming space. If it's environment and food is not perfect, it can be susceptible to diseases such as [[Ich]]. In the wild it lives in the surge zone of the reef, therefore will appreciate a strong wave maker in captivity. Needs a salinity of around 1.020.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
:A territorial fish towards other Tangs or fish that resemble Tangs in body shape, peaceful towards other fish.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:Striking orange on black markings. Typical oval [[:Category:Tangs|Tang]] body shape, black base colour with white edging to fins and gills, orange tail and a tear drop shaped orange marking at the base of the tail. These markings will show true when the fish is mature, and may differ in juveniles.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
Cool waters of California, and Mexico.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
Males are larger, with a hump on the head.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
Territoral, intolerant of its own kind. Best kept with subtropical and temperate species or species from the same region that can hold their own. While generally safe with invertebrates, it may eat small Shrimp or kill and eat small fish.<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
Feed both meaty and vegetable-based foods to this omnivore.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
Daily, ideally at least 2 times.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
Coldwater Reef tank with lots of cover and macroalgae. These fish are known to "farm" algaes and invertebrates, so will aggressively remove all competitors from the area.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
Territorial and bold.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A large and striking fish, the most clear feature being it's colour. The Garibaldi is vivid tangerine orange all over. It's quite a chunky fish in appearance and square in shape. Juveniles have a more purple tint, and are covered in vibrant blue speckles.<br />

== Origin ==<br />
Cool waters of California, and Mexico.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Sexing ==<br />
Males are larger, with a hump on the head.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tank compatibility ==<br />
Territoral, intolerant of its own kind. Best kept with subtropical and temperate species or species from the same region that can hold their own. While generally safe with invertebrates, it may eat small Shrimp or kill and eat small fish.<br />
<br />
== Diet ==<br />
Feed both meaty and vegetable-based foods to this omnivore.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Feeding regime ==<br />
Daily, ideally at least 2 times.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Environment specifics ==<br />
Coldwater Reef tank with lots of cover and macroalgae. These fish are known to "farm" algaes and invertebrates, so will aggressively remove all competitors from the area.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Behaviour ==<br />
Territorial and bold.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Identification ==<br />
:A large and striking fish, the most clear feature being it's colour. The Garibaldi is vivid tangerine orange all over. It's quite a chunky fish in appearance and square in shape. Juveniles have a more purple tint, and are covered in vibrant blue speckles.<br />
