Description
One of the most beautiful fish, the Powder Blue Tang is an addition many aquarists readily seek. May show signs of aggression against all other Surgeonfish, it is best living as a single specimen in a moderate system or smaller. If it is to be kept with multiple tangs, it is best to add them at the same time.
Diet
Will consume filamentous algae as well as frozen mysis shrimp and other meaty foods. It is recommended to regularly feed Nori as a marine algae suppliment. If underfed it may pick at small polyped stony corals.
