The Bristletooth Tomini Tang is tan combined with yellow, blue, and white highlights as a juvenile. When mature, the body color solidifies, the tail becomes blue, and the dorsal and anal fins are tipped with a golden-yellow hue. The area above the eyes has small golden flecks while sporting a golden half circle beneath. A medium aquarium is necessary to provide plenty of swimming room. It is aggressive towards other Tangs but peaceful with other fish.
