Description
Description
Ctenochaetus flavicauda—commonly the White-Tail Bristletooth Tang—is a compact, reef-safe algae specialist that keeps rock and glass pristine without bothering corals. Its deep chocolate body, fine golden speckling, and crisp white tail add subtle contrast that lets your WYSIWYG coral shine. Active yet well-mannered, this bristletooth thrives in mature 70–90+ gallon systems with open swimming lanes, strong oxygenation, and plenty of established live rock to browse. Expect some posturing toward similar tangs; keep singly or add last in the hierarchy. Feed an algae-forward diet—nori/seaweed on clips, spirulina pellets, and quality herbivore blends—with occasional mysis for condition. As a dedicated film-algae and diatom grazer, the White-Tail Bristletooth Tang is an excellent addition to mixed reefs and FOWLR setups alike. Our Ctenochaetus flavicauda for sale are expertly conditioned at Discover Aquatics in Taylor Mill, KY and ship via UPS Next Day Air® for peak health.
