Powder Blue Surgeonfish

Tangs & Surgeonfish

A showstopping tang with powder blue body, yellow dorsal fin, white face, and black mask. Powder blue tangs are stunning but demanding — they are highly susceptible to ich and require excellent water quality, strong flow, and a large, mature system. Best suited to experienced reefers who have mastered quarantine protocols.
