{"product_id":"whitespotted-surgeonfish-acanthurus-guttatus","title":"Whitespotted Surgeonfish (Acanthurus guttatus)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Whitespotted Surgeonfish is a striking Indo-Pacific tang recognized by its dark gray to nearly black body, bold white spots, and contrasting yellow coloration around the fins and tail. Its streamlined body and scalpel-like caudal spine are characteristic of surgeonfish. It is an active grazer that spends much of its time swimming over rockwork and feeding on algae. This species is best suited to spacious, mature marine aquariums with extensive swimming room and abundant natural algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLighting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModerate to high lighting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong reef lighting helps support natural algae growth for grazing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlacement (Aquarium Zone)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiddle to upper reef\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide extensive open swimming space combined with mature live rock and surfaces for grazing.
