Bariene Tang (Acanthurus Bariene)

The Bariene Tang (Acanthurus bariene), also known as the Black-spot Surgeonfish, is an active and graceful marine fish featuring a deep brown or black body accented by vibrant yellow-orange fin margins and a distinctive spot near the pectoral fin base. As a dedicated herbivore, it serves as a hardworking grazer that helps control nuisance marine algae in spacious marine environments.

This completely reef-safe species coexists peacefully with corals, clams, and invertebrates while adding captivating movement to the aquarium. Because it can display territorial behavior toward other tangs and grows to a substantial size, it thrives best when provided ample swimming room and introduced as one of the final additions to an established system.
