The Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) is a remarkable marine species originating from Hawaii, Central Pacific. In its natural habitat, it thrives in coral reefs or rocky lagoons, contributing to the ecosystem as herbivore.

Known for its Bright yellow body; active swimmer; grazes on algae., this fish adds vibrancy and activity to any aquarium. In captivity, the Yellow Tang requires at least 284 liters and should be provided with ample hiding spots and stable water conditions.

It exhibits semi-aggressive and may become territorial as it matures, especially towards similar species.
