Achilles Gold Rim Hybrid Tang
{EDIT IMAGE DUE TO LINK}
Rarely available to the trade, this stunning and rare hybrid is chocolate brown, almost black, with orange on the tail and yellow on the soft dorsal fin. This is one of the more demanding members of the Acanthurus clan. In the wild this species is territorial and is usually found in areas with lots of surge. Provide this active fish with plenty of swimming room, as well one or two hiding places. Like any tangs in this group, it may be aggressive toward surgeonfish tankmates, but it usually shy at least initially. This fish is an herbivore, provide with a varied diet that includes frozen and flake foods for herbivores as well as dried algae sheets.

Yes, several, perhaps many different species of SW fish are known to regulerly produce hybrids in the wild. From tangs to angelfish, ect. Normaly from the same genus. Most if not all, do not reproduce themselfs though. Cant say how this effects there survivalbility in captivity. Many are stunning creatures.

almost all hybrids are sterile thats not only fish but any animal that is a hybrid.
