Scopas Tang
Scopas Tang (aka Brown Tang, Two-Tone Tang) Quite similar to the Yellow Tang, the Scopas Tang, also known as the Brown Tang, or Two-Tone Tang, is a mostly brown colored fish. As this is a very active fish, plenty of room is needed for swimming. However, a few caves are good for the Scopas Tang to find refuge when startled or scared. As with all Tangs, the Scopas Tang also has a small scalpel-like spine at the base of its tail which is used as a means of defense.
