Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurus)
The Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurus) is one of the most prized specimens of all saltwater fish. If housed properly, it is a rewarding and attractive addition to any large fish-only or reef tank. Be sure to provide good lighting, lots of free swimming space and plenty of potential hiding spots for the Purple Tang. They can be very aggressive and do not fare well with tank mates of similar body shape, especially other Tangs of the genus Zebrasoma.
Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurus)-Feeding
The Purple Tang will graze on algae in the aquarium as well as accepting other prepared foods both frozen and dried. Purple Tangs need vitamin supplements that are high in beta-carotene, to help prevent lateral line disease.

Excellent store for saltwater fish and aquariums. They always have healthy livestock, a great selection of fish and corals, and the staff is friendly and very helpful. You can tell they are passionate about this hobby and provide great advice on maintaining a healthy reef tank. This is definitely my favorite place to buy everything for my marine aquarium. Highly recommended!”
Great but shy
