Description
The Purple Tang Md (Lateral Line) is characterized by its vibrant purple color and a visible lateral line that may appear more prominent on some specimens. It also sports bright yellow fins, adding a contrasting touch to its overall appearance. Like other tangs, it has a semi-aggressive temperament, especially towards other tangs or similar species. This tang is best kept in large aquariums with ample swimming space and stable water conditions. An herbivorous diet, with a focus on algae, is essential for maintaining its health and vibrant colors. It is a popular choice for reef aquariums due to its compatibility with corals.
