Reef Safe

The Yellow Tang, scientifically known as Zebrasoma flavescens, is a beloved and iconic fish in the marine aquarium hobby. With its vibrant yellow body and sleek, elongated shape, this tang adds a touch of sunshine to any reef aquarium. The Yellow Tang is renowned for its peaceful demeanor and active swimming behavior, making it a popular choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. As a herbivore, it primarily feeds on algae, contributing to the maintenance of a balanced ecosystem within the aquarium.
