More about Purple tang
The Purple tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum) is a vibrantly colored marine fish, primarily purple in hue, with a yellow tail and a distinct yellow accent on the pectoral fins. Originating from the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and the Arabian Sea, it is distinguished by its laterally compressed body and a disk-like shape. Well-regarded within the aquarium hobby, the Purple tang is popular for its striking appearance but is known to require a well-maintained marine environment to thrive.
