Description
The Lemonpeel Mimic Tang is a saltwater fish that is known for its vibrant yellow color and black stripe that extends from its nose to its eye. It is also characterized by a white or light yellow horizontal line on its sides and a blue ring around its eyes. This fish is a popular choice for aquariums due to its striking appearance and active behavior.
Reef Safe
Yes, but with caution. While it generally does not harm corals, it can nip at small-polyped stony corals and some soft coral polyps.
Environment
The Lemonpeel Mimic Tang prefers a large tank with plenty of space to swim. The tank should have plenty of hiding spots and live rock for grazing. This fish prefers a strong current and well-oxygenated water.
Behavior
This species is known for its active and outgoing behavior. It can be territorial with other tangs and may show aggression towards fish of similar shape and size. However, it is generally peaceful with other species.
