The Acanthurus olivaceus is a grayish surgeonfish with an oval shape, featuring an orange and bluish band running from its eyes to the middle of its body. This characteristic gives it the nickname of the orange-shouldered surgeonfish. Seen both in groups and alone, this specimen is relatively territorial.

 

In an aquarium, its maintenance requires a minimum water volume of 800L. The temperature tolerated by the Acanthurus olivaceus ranges from 23° to 27° and the pH between 8.2 and 8.4. This fish is not ideal for community tanks as its lifestyle and sometimes aggressive temperament might stress more discreet species. It is preferable to keep it alone. Herbivorous, it is incompatible with algae.
