Purple Tang

Details

Zebrasoma xanthurum The Purple tang is a close relative to the yellow tang. These gorgeous tangs are rarely in stock captive-bred but when they are they're sporting a nice 1.5-2" sizing. Tangs are primarily herbivores so they do require specialized feedings to accommodate that diet. We suggest feeding both nori sheets as well as some spirulina enriched frozen brine shrimp.
