Purple Tang
Purple Tang
(Zebrasoma Xanthurum)

What is the maximum size?
They can reach 25cm.

Where is its origin and where is it exported from?
The Purple Tang comes from the Red Sea and Persian Gulf.

Is it Reef Compatible?
Yes generally safe. Will browse on any algae in the tank and if underfed may nip at some corals.

What should I feed it?
Best to feed a varied diet with plenty of algae and frozen foods, live food and aquarium flake. Best kept with live rock as it’s a grazing fish.

How many can I keep?
This fish is best kept on its own.

How compatible is it with other fish?
Is aggressive towards its own kind so best to keep as the only surgeonfish. Once this fish is large and established it can become very territorial and dominant so best to keep with other robust fish and add last.

Can it be bred in the aquarium?
No.
