{"product_id":"yellow-tang-fish","title":"Yellow Tang Fish","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Yellow Tang, *Zebrasoma flavescens*, is a vibrant and iconic marine fish, instantly recognizable by its brilliant, uniform yellow coloration. Its body is oval-shaped and laterally compressed, with a pointed snout and a small mouth. A sharp spine is located on either side of the caudal peduncle (the narrow part of the body to which the tail fin is attached), which is used for defense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum tank size of 70 gallons is recommended for a single Yellow Tang, with larger tanks required for housing multiple individuals or in a community setting. They require ample swimming space and plenty of live rock for grazing on algae and providing hiding places. Yellow Tangs are generally considered reef-safe, though some individuals may occasionally nip at certain corals or invertebrates, particularly if not well-fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinguishing between male and female Yellow Tangs is difficult, as there are no obvious external differences. They are pelagic spawners and breeding in a home aquarium is extremely challenging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yellow Tang is primarily a herbivore and requires a diet rich in marine algae. Offerings of dried seaweed (nori) attached to a rock or clip are essential. Supplement their diet with high-quality marine flake and pellet foods, as well as occasional offerings of mysis shrimp or other meaty foods to provide a balanced diet. A varied diet is crucial for maintaining their vibrant color and overall health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zebrasoma flavescens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075086606625,"sku":"TT-6367-S","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075086639393,"sku":"TT-6367-M","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075086672161,"sku":"TT-6367-L","price":275.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/yellow-tang_08456706-440b-4d66-845e-f65c93c711ff.jpg?v=1784964427","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/yellow-tang-fish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
