The Yellow Tang is one of the most recognizable saltwater fish available. They are bright yellow in color and do very well in either reef or fish-only tanks. They can be kept in groups of 3 or more, or singly. They are voracious algae eaters.The Surgeonfish family consists of fish which are colorful, thin-bodied, and usually have an oval shape. These fish have long continuous dorsal and anal fins and crescent tailfins. The scalpel at the base of their tailfin is very sharp and is used by the fish for protection from predators as well as a way of establishing itself with other fish. These fish are usually seen at reefs eating algae all day long.Photo by Saltwaterfish.com member ElitePhoto: Jay Hague
