Purple Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum) Description: The Purple Tang is one of the most striking and sought-after saltwater tangs, featuring a deep purple-blue body covered in subtle dark markings with a brilliant yellow tail. An active swimmer and natural algae grazer, it makes an impressive centerpiece fish in a well-established marine aquarium. Best kept in a spacious aquarium with plenty of open swimming room and live rock for grazing.
