The Gold Rim Tang is a striking addition to established reef aquariums, featuring a vibrant yellow body with distinctive black markings and a bold gold-rimmed tail. This active swimmer thrives in spacious tanks where it can patrol and graze on algae throughout the day.

Native to Indo-Pacific reefs, this intermediate-care fish displays semi-aggressive behavior, particularly toward other tangs. It requires plenty of swimming space and rocky structures for grazing and shelter. Feed a varied diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and fresh vegetables to maintain its brilliant coloration and support long-term health.

Best suited for experienced aquarists maintaining stable water conditions. The XL specimen provided is approximately 5.25 inches and will mature to around 8 inches in captivity.
