Description

Tang Scopus

is a highly popular and hardy fish valued for its natural reef look and excellent algae-eating habits. They feature an understated, elegant gradient ranging from earthy browns and olives to darker charcoals, often accented with fine vertical stripes and tiny white dots. Because of this look, they are affectionately nicknamed the “emo yellow tang”. They are generally peaceful community fish and 100% reef-safe. However, they can be highly aggressive toward their own species or other similarly-shaped tangs unless added to a massive tank simultaneously.
