The Purple Tang, also known as the Yellowtail Sailfin Tang or the Yellowtail Surgeonfish, is a popular species of tang that is prized for its striking coloration and active personality. As its name suggests, this fish has a predominantly purple body with a vibrant yellow tail, as well as bright blue markings on its face and fins. Native to the Red Sea and the western Indian Ocean, Purple Tangs are found in areas with strong currents and plenty of hiding places, such as coral reefs. They feed on a variety of algae and other plant materials, and require a diet rich in vegetable matter to maintain their health. In the home aquarium, Purple Tangs require a large tank with plenty of swimming room and hiding places, as well as a varied diet that includes algae and other plant-based foods. They can be somewhat aggressive towards other fish of the same species, so it is best to keep only one Purple Tang per tank, unless the tank is very large. With proper care, Purple Tangs can live for up to 15 years.
