The Dussumieri Tang, also known as the Eyestripe Surgeonfish or the Indian Gold Ring Surgeonfish, is a strikingly beautiful fish that is native to the Indian Ocean. It has a deep blue body with a bright yellow dorsal fin and a distinctive black and white striped head that gives it its name. Its elongated snout is perfect for snipping at filamentous algae and other vegetation in the wild. This species requires a large aquarium with plenty of open swimming space, as well as plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing. They can be territorial and aggressive towards other tangs and surgeonfish, so it is important to introduce them last into a community aquarium. The Dussumieri Tang is known to be a relatively hardy and disease-resistant species, but they do require a varied diet that includes vegetable matter and meaty foods. They are also known to nip at stony and soft corals, so caution should be taken when introducing them into a reef aquarium.
