The Blue Eyed Tang, Ctenochaetus binotatus, is also referred to as the Two-Spot Surgeonfish, the Two-Spot Bristletooth Tang, or the Blue Eye Tang. It features a orange/pinked body with white horizontal lines and yellow finnage and deep blue eyes.
The Blue Eyed Tang thrives best in tanks with plenty of live rock, plenty of algae, and room to swim. They should not be housed with members of its own species and will be peaceful with reef inverts and corals making it reef safe. The Blue Eyed Tang will spend much of its time eating algae making it a beneficial tank member. They can also eat flake or meaty foods.
