Fast Facts

This tang mimics the Yellow Pygmy Angel. Smaller specimens of this species are yellow, becoming a handsome brown with gold trim as they mature. "Large" size specimens (rarely available) will more closely resemble the "Adult' in the photo, while "small" specimens are yellow, like the "juvenile" image. Adults to NOT have blue fins (that's a funky underwater photo), but they're beautiful nonetheless.
