Yellow Mimic Tang

Acanthurus pyroferus

Reef Safe

The Mustard Tang is a vibrant, yellow, oval-shaped fish that grows up to a foot long and requires a spacious aquarium of 180 gallon minimum. While generally peaceful, it may act aggressively toward other Tangs or similarly shaped species. Its diet should prioritize vegetation like seaweed and algae, though it will also eat meaty foods. Feeding dried seaweed three times a week, using clips or rocks, helps support health and reduce stress. With proper space and nutrition, the Mustard Tang is a striking and rewarding addition to established marine tanks.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.

Due to variations within species, your item may not look identical to the image.

Measurements are measured from the tip of the head to end of the tail.
