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.

Fish was in good health with no blemishes, he ate first thing when I put him the quarantine tank. I took a risk not knowing much about the company, overall very happy with the purchase.

This fish was packaged very well. It is about 2.5-3 inches which is amazing. The fish is the first to eat and super active. For the price I would reccommend this fish!

5 Great Fish for a Great Price
Posted by Geoffrey Metzelar on Oct 22nd 2020
I ordered my fish on Sunday and had it by Tuesday. Received the fish in good health and readily picking at algae and eating meaty foods that were offered. The fish did have a small white spot located right near one of its eyes but it didn't appear to be ich and never seemed to bother the fish as it was readily eating. The white spot has since faded/ fallen off/ healed and the fish is getting along great with its new tank mates. Will definitely be ordering from this place again.
