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 tang displays semi-aggressive behavior and pairs well with other fish of similar size and temperament. It requires plenty of swimming space and live rock for grazing opportunities. Feed a varied diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and fresh vegetables to maintain its brilliant coloration.

The XL specimen at 5.25 inches is well-established and ready for immediate introduction to mature systems. Ideal for intermediate aquarists seeking a hardy, visually impressive tang with proven reef compatibility.
