Acanthurus nigrofuscus
Acanthurus nigrofuscus, is a beautiful underrated tang which common name (brown surgeonfish) doesn't do it justice. It has very small spots on his body, large spots on his head and fins that turn purple when it's happy. It can be aggressive towards other fish, especially other tangs and food competitors, but once it is settled in the tank it will usually poses no problem.
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.
