The Yellow Tang (Zebrasoma flavescens) is one of the most popular fish for a saltwater aquarium. In general this fish does get along well with other fishes in an aquarium, but it can be aggressive towards other Yellows and Surgeonfshes if they are not introduced into the aquarium at the same time. If your tank size will allow you to include several of these fish, you will be entertained by their lazy "follow the leader" patterns in and through live rock arrangements.
