The Gold Rim Tang is a striking addition to established reef aquariums, featuring a vibrant yellow body with distinctive black gill plates and a bold black stripe running along its dorsal fin. This active swimmer displays semi-aggressive behavior and requires ample space to thrive, making a 75-gallon minimum tank essential for long-term health.

Hardy and moderately challenging to care for, the Gold Rim Tang grazes on algae and benefits from a varied diet including marine vegetation and quality flake foods. It reaches approximately 8 inches at maturity and pairs well with other reef-safe fish in spacious systems. Best suited for intermediate aquarists with established tanks and stable water conditions.
