The Orangeshoulder Tang (Acanthurus olivaceus) undergoes a dramatic color change from a bright yellow juvenile to a gray-bodied adult with a vivid orange shoulder patch. A reef-safe algae grazer, it needs a large aquarium of about 680 liters and is generally calmer toward other tangs than many surgeonfish species.
