Description
A captive-bred hybrid Zebrasoma showing a variable blend of yellow tang and purple tang traits, typically a bluish-purple to lavender body suffused or blotched with yellow, fine dark speckling, a bright yellow tail, and the tall sail-like dorsal and anal fins typical of the genus. Temperament mirrors both parents: outgoing and bold once settled, but territorial toward other Zebrasoma and similarly shaped tangs, so it is best added last or kept as the only sailfin-type tang. Give it a long, open swimming tank with plenty of rockwork for grazing and refuge, pristine water with strong flow and oxygenation, and a daily supply of marine algae to prevent HLLE and nutritional deficiency; it is reef safe and will not bother corals or clams.
