The Achilles Tang has bright highlights of white and orange around the dorsal, caudal, and anal fins. A white marking is also present on the gill covers and a striking orange teardrop is found near the tail. The juveniles of this species have an orange marking by the tail in the shape of a streak instead of being teardrop in shape.
An 800 litre aquarium or larger is necessary to provide plenty of swimming room. These fish require strong water flow as they are normally found in surge zones. It is aggressive towards other Tangs and Surgeonfish, but peaceful with other fish.
Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine based seaweed and algae. This will strengthen their immune system, reduce aggression and improve their overall health.
