Product Overview
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.

5 Super Nice Fish!
Posted by William Howard on Sep 10th 2019
This was my first time ordering from NYAquatic and I could not be more pleased. The fish I received was in excellent condition, good color, no blemishes, and a little larger than I expected. It was packaged very well and arrived without delay. I am definitely going to purchase from NYAquatic again! Thank you Michael for a great fish.

5 Very Healthy Purple Tang
Posted by Unknown on Mar 28th 2019
I was a bit skeptical when I saw the pricing on these fish as these prices were so much more reasonable than all other salers. However the fish cam in healthy, lively, beautiful and is eating hardily already.

5 Purple tangys
Posted by Unknown on Dec 6th 2018
I introduced them together in the dark. They both scattered opposite directions in my 75g. When checked them a couple of hrs later they were both swimming in sync. Every once and a while theres a little chase, but lasts no longer than a second. They're eating good and are beautiful.

The two were a little on the thin side but eating and were not shy I should definitely have a long life with these beautiful fish and price is truly unbeatable
