Description: The Mustard guttatus tang is gray with white stripes towards the front and white spots on the back half of the body. They also have vibrant yellow pelvic fins. This fish needs a larger tank with plenty of room to swim and will appreciate ample rock work for grazing and hiding places. A protein skimmer and UV sterilizer are highly recommended, and Vitamin C soaked pellets are encouraged to help prevent disease. Do not mix with other similar Acanthurus tangs. Feed seaweed multiple times a week.
