The Lieutenant X Orange Shoulder Hybrid Tang is a captivating addition to saltwater aquariums. Let me introduce you to this unique fish:

1. Appearance:

   • As a juvenile, it starts out as an attractive and bright yellow specimen.
   • Around 2 to 4 inches in length, it transitions into a gray/green fish with a bright orange marking on the shoulder.
   • The shoulder patch becomes a vivid orange trimmed with purple as it matures.

2. Behavior and Compatibility:

   • This hybrid tang tends to get along with most other tangs, except for other Orange Shoulder Surgeons.
   • It is semi-aggressive toward other Tangs and Surgeonfish but generally peaceful with other fish.

3. Tank Requirements:

   • The live rock provides swimming room and territories for grazing and hiding.
   • Consider tank size before purchasing, as adult Acanthurus Tangs can become quite large.

4. Diet:

   • Offer a varied diet of marine meaty and algae-based foods.

The Lieutenant X Orange Shoulder Hybrid Tang adds both beauty and intrigue to your underwater world!
