Zebrasoma flavescens “Yellow Tang” – Small

The Yellow Tang has a solid yellow body and fins. The tail spine at the base of the tail is white. These tangs are a highly recognized aquarium fish. Like other tangs, these fish are omnivores. They need plenty of algae and other greens in their diet to keep them healthy, but will also eat small bits of meaty foods. Algae can be provided in the form of Spirulina, formula foods, dried marine algae on clips as a frequent treat, or through live algae grown in the tank or in a refugium. Tangs are generally community fish and get along with most other tankmates. They do not bother corals and can actually help keep nuisance algae trimmed and under control. Tangs may get territorial and aggressive towards similar tangs, so always use caution when keeping these fish together.213467
