Answers:

Tangs are a kind of saltwater fish which inhabit shallow reefs and beds of seagrass from the east coast of Africa northward to the Red Sea, and over the broad span of the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific oceans. The ideal temperature of their habitat is between the middle 70s and low 80s Fahrenheit (25 to 30 掳C). The Zebrasoma comprise seven species of pointed-snout, disc-like bodied, sail-like finned, single peduncular-spined fishes and it is true that this genus of surgeonfishes is commonly accepted as being properly termed "Tang".

Tangs are herbivorous salt water fish. They are very handy to have in a tank because they eat algea voraciously, don't bother the other fish, and will eat prepared food as well. They come in a huge variety of colors and aren't too expensive. Both Dory and Bubbles from the movie Finding Nemo are tangs
