| Fast Facts | This is very similar to the yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens), but it is brown overall, rather than yellow. If you are going to keep more than one tang in the same tank it is best to introduce them simultaneously, or to introduce smaller individuals first. It will defend a preferred hiding place from intruders. Provide this active fish with plenty of swimming room, as well one or two hiding places. | ||||||||||||||||
