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.

Ordered a 2” Purple Tang and it came healthy. Was worried because I do not have a quarantine tank set up but no issues. It’s been a week and no signs of illness and eating good.

5 Very nice Purple Tang

The Purple Tang I received was very nice and healthy. Took a few days to acclimate him to my tank and my other Tangs but everything is fine now. He is a little larger than my other Tangs.
