Description
The yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) is a reef-dwelling fish from the Pacific Ocean. Its bright coloring has made it a popular choice for saltwater aquariums. Their main food source is the algae found in and around the reef. They also act as cleaners for sea turtles by removing algal and other buildups from the turtles' shells.
