The Purple Tang is purple in colour with a yellow tail and yellow accents on the pectoral fins.
If housed properly, it is a rewarding and attractive addition to any large aquarium. If keeping them, be sure to provide good lighting, lots of free swimming space and plenty of potential hiding spots. They can be very aggressive and do not fare well with tank mates of similar body shape, especially other Tangs.
Although Tangs will eat meaty foods along with the other fish in the aquarium, it is important that they are offered plenty of marine-based seaweed and algae. This will strengthen their immune system, reduce aggression, and improve their overall health.
