Red Sea Sailfin Tang, Desjardini Sailfin Tang, Indian Ocean Sailfin Tang, Desjardin’s Sailfin Tang

Zebrasoma desjardini

Size: 16 inches

Minimum tank size: 180 gallons

Reef safe: Yes

Diet: vegetarian

Temperament: Red sea sailfins are one of the more aggressive tangs. Will not tolerate other tangs of the zebrasoma family.

General: Red sea sailfins get very large and must have a large tank with plenty of live rock for grazing. As with all tangs, they will eat meaty foods, but keeping algae on hand for them is a good way to insure good health and coloring.
