Powder Blue Tang SMALL

(Acanthurus Leucosternon)

What is the maximum size?
They can reach 23cm.

Where is its origin and where is it exported from?
The Powder Blue Tang comes from the Indian Ocean. Most often imported from Indonesia.

Is it Reef Compatible?
Yes generally safe. Will browse on any algae in the tank and if underfed may nip at some corals. New introductions are prone to catching parasitical infections so feed with garlic enriched foods, for example frozen brine shrimp and garlic. Use a UV steriliser if possible to help reduce the chance of infections which are hard to clear up in reef systems. May be more suited to an aquarium without corals so copper can be used to treat.

What should I feed it?
Best to feed a varied diet with plenty of algae and frozen foods, live food and dried food. Best kept with live rock as it’s a grazing fish.

How many can I keep?
This fish is best kept on its own.

How compatible is it with other fish?
Can be aggressive and territorial. Is aggressive towards its own kind so best not kept with any similar species.

Can it be bred in the aquarium?
No
