$240.00

Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum)

The Purple Tang is a striking surgeonfish, instantly recognized by its deep purple body, bright yellow tail, and elegant body shape. Known for its active swimming and bold presence, it adds both vibrant color and dynamic movement to reef and fish-only aquariums.

Size: Typically grows up to 9 inches in length

Country of Origin: Red Sea and Western Indian Ocean

Latin Name: Zebrasoma xanthurum

Care Level: Moderate – thrives in well-established aquariums with ample swimming space, strong water flow, and stable water conditions

Purple Tangs are herbivores that primarily graze on marine algae and will accept prepared herbivore foods. They are generally considered reef-safe, though underfed individuals may occasionally nip at soft corals or clam mantles.
