The Powder Blue Tang, also known as the Powder Blue
Surgeonfish, has an oval body shape with extremely colorful,
bold markings. It has several varying shades of blue accented
by yellow and white. Bright yellow highlights the dorsal and
pectoral fins, and striking blue-black markings outline the
face and tail.
A 100 gallon or larger aquarium is necessary to provide
plenty of swimming room. It is extremely aggressive towards
other Tangs or Surgeonfish, especially those similar in form
and color, and should be the only one in the tank except in
very large systems.
The diet of the Powder Blue Tang should consist of
freeze-dried worms, brine shrimp, algae, and vegetarian items
such as Spirulina, zucchini, broccoli, leaf lettuce,
and dried seaweed.
