Description: Desjardini Tangs come from the Red Sea or Northern Africa. They have an elegant yellow pattern in their stripes when compared to the standard Sailfin Tang. They are best known for eating bubble algae in reef aquarium. A balanced diet of algae based food is best. Caution must be taken when mixing with other zebrasoma sp. tangs.
