Acanthurus Coeruleus
Acanthurus Tangs should be added to aquariums with plenty of swim room and rockwork for grazing and hiding. Tank size should be considered before purchasing as the adult acanthurus Tangs can become quite large. Also known as surgeon fish because of the sharp spine at the base of their tail. This "scalpel" is used for protection, handle carefully as it is very sharp. Considered reef safe but may pick at small, mobile and sessile invertebrates if not well fed. Provide a varied diet of marine meaty and algae-based foods. Acanthurus Tangs have been known to be aggressive towards similarly shaped Tangs.
The Atlantic Blue Tang are also known as the Blue Surgeonfish. The Atlantic Blue Tangs coloration varies as the fish matures. Juveniles start with an overall yellow body transitioning to blue as the fish matures. They can grow up to 23cm in length.
We recommend a minimum aquarium size of 800L or larger for this species.
