Desjardini Sailfin Tang

The Desjardini Sailfin Tang, also known as the Indian Ocean Sailfin Tang, is a stunning and dynamic addition to any large saltwater aquarium. This majestic herbivore is easily recognized by its tall, flowing dorsal and anal fins—resembling a sail when fully extended—and its striking coloration. Adults showcase a dramatic pattern of bold vertical stripes and intricate dots, with hues ranging from silvery gray to golden brown, accented by white, yellow, and deep black markings.
