Yellow Tail Purple Sailfin Tang Zebrasoma Xanthurum The Yellowtail Purple Sailfin Tang (Zebrasoma xanthurum) is a striking marine fish with a deep purple-blue body, bright yellow tail, and yellow accents on the pectoral fins. It is endemic to the northwestern Indian Ocean, found in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and around the Arabian Peninsula into the Persian Gulf. This herbivorous fish grazes on filamentous algae during the day, following a pattern of feeding individually or in pairs. They require a large aquarium of at least 75 gallons with plenty of swimming space and hiding spots, as they can be aggressive towards other tangs of similar body shape. Proper water parameters are crucial, with a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025 and temperature of 72-78°F. This fish is recommended for experienced aquarists due to its sensitivity to water quality and potential aggression. Overall, the Yellowtail Purple Sailfin Tang is a beautiful and rewarding addition to a large reef or fish-only aquarium when provided with the right care.Above images for illustration purposes only.
