The Sohal Tang (Acanthurus Sohal) is one of the ocean’s most striking surgeonfish, known for its bold striping and powerful swimming presence. Native to the Red Sea, this fish boasts electric blue edges, zebra-like stripes, and an unmistakable attitude that makes it a centerpiece in any display reef.

Features:
Vivid blue, white, and black coloration
Highly active swimmer; strong personality
Excellent grazer of nuisance algae
Best for experienced hobbyists with large systems
Grows up to 16" in captivity
