The Purple Tang (Zebrasoma Xanthurum) enjoys quite a bit of popularity among hobbyists. They are exact copies of the yellow tang (Zebrasoma Flavescens) except for two differences, they are purple and they are aggressive. Their bodies are a deep purple while their pectoral and tail fins are yellow. As they age, the purple colors on their bodies darken.
