Yellow fish, that ARENT yellow tangs!

[FUNGI]

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!
