Ctenochaetus truncatus

Ctenochaetus truncatus, commonly known as the Indian gold-ring bristletooth tang, is one of the smaller tangs. It looks very much like the more well-known C. strigosus but the body is not as dark and with more spots compared to the more striped body of the strigosus. It can be aggressive towards other tangs and food competitors, but will generally leave other fish a lone. A great algae eater for a medium to large sized tank.

Like other tangs, it will eat meaty foods, but it's important it can graze on algae/seaweed the entire day to ensure it will stay healthy. So feed flakes/pellets multiple times a day and make sure there is always seaweed available.
