I think with yellow tangs being so expensive still it’s worth showing off these fish, here’s a few ideas (Most are not my photos).
Peaceful List;
Yellow ‘Coris’ Wrasse -
Halichoeres chrysus (Not a true
Coris species, this is infact a peaceful
Halichoeres).
Regal Angelfish -
Pygoplites diacanthus flavescens (Not completely yellow but definitely worthy of this list IMO).
Common and One Spot Foxface -
Siganus unimaculatus and
Siganus vulpinus
Addis Butterflyfish -
Chaetodon semilavartus (Slightly more reef safe than others in this genus but as with any Chaetodon species, it’s a risk)
Yellow Long Nose Butterflies -
Forcipiger flavissimus and
Forcipiger longirostris (Like CBBs they are most likely reef safe but it’s still a risk)
Lemonpeel Angelfish -
Centropyge flavissim (Same issue as the Butterflies)
Blue Stripe Tamarin Wrasse -
Anampses femininus (This is for the experts, they are a nightmare to keep)
Silver Belly Wrasse -
Halichoeres leucoxanthus
Yellow Watchman Goby -
Cryptocentrus cinctus
Yellow Assessor -
Assessor flavissimus
Yellow Tilefish -
Hoplolatilus luteus
Boisterous/Aggressive List;
Candy Hogfish -
Bodianus bimaculatus (Not to be housed with peaceful Wrasses or smaller species)
Yellow Banana Wrasse -
Thalassoma lutescens (Same as above)
Yellow Hawkfish -
Cirrhitichthys aurea (Risky to inverts and may go for peaceful fish)
Jaguar Dottyback -
Pseudochromis moorei (Aggressive to smaller fish especially in small tanks)
Lemon Peel Mimic Tang -
Acanthurus pyroferus (Only yellow as a juvenile)
Queen Angelfish -
Holacanthus ciliaris (Risky towards corals and when mixing with other angels)
And with both lists, feel free to add any more fish you think belong here. The more the better!
