Description
An active fish, the lavender tang is somewhat aggressive and needs lots of room to swim and hide. A beautiful addition to a saltwater aquarium, it has a colorful body with lavender-tinted fins. The lavender tang is carnivorous but also feeds on live rock and seaweed to provide the proper nutrition it needs.
