Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus leucosternon) | Digital Marine Atlas

The Pastel Beauty of the Reef

​The Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus leucosternon) is widely considered one of the most breathtaking and iconic surgeonfishes in the marine aquarium hobby. It boasts a striking contrast of colors: a soft, powder-blue body, a vibrant yellow dorsal fin, and a dramatic black face highlighted by a white chin.

​As indicated by the scientific symbols, this species is a peaceful community fish that brings active movement to the middle of the water column. It is a highly active omnivore/herbivore, requiring a varied diet of prepared foods, invertebrates, and plenty of plant matter (algae) to maintain its stunning colors and health. It thrives in aquariums that offer a balance of corals and rocks for grazing and hiding.
