Notes: The Scopas Tang will not bother coral or invertebrates, however it may eat desirable marine algae. Can be kept with most other tangs except those of the same Zebrasoma genus such as the Yellow Tang or Purple Tang. It is an active grazer who will help control the growth of undesirable algae. Provide plenty of open swimming space and several hiding places.
Feed a diet rich in vegetable matter including frozen herbivore foods, dried seaweed, or live macro algae.
