Zebrasoma scopas
Description
A yellow-morph scopas tang, deep-bodied with tall sail-like fins. Hardier and considerably less expensive than the yellow tang it resembles.
Feeding
Primarily herbivorous. Dried marine algae daily, spirulina foods and some frozen meaty food.
Compatibility
Reef safe but territorial toward other tangs, especially other Zebrasoma. Generally one per tank.
Behaviour and personality
Grazes constantly and swims steadily. Raises the dorsal and anal fins in display, appearing much larger.
Before you buy
Needs swimming length and daily algae. Prone to marine ich when stressed, so quarantine before introduction.
