Powder Blue Tang

What is the Swell Powder Blue Tang?

The Powder Blue Tang will make a majestic addition to your marine aquarium, they are a peaceful fish as long as there are no other Tangs or Surgeonfish in your tank. They are reef safe and are excellent algae eaters so will require a fully established aquarium with plenty of live rocks so that there are plenty of opportunities for them to graze on the algae. They are mainly herbivorous so they will mainly be eating the algae but you should also be feeding them with algae sheets, nori and spirulina a few times a day, and even though they are mainly herbivores it would also be beneficial for them to have some brine and mysis shrimp in their diet. They can be a fairly difficult fish to keep due to them being very prone to diseases such as white spot so we recommend that you get a quarantine aquarium for this fish to prevent any other fish from developing the diseases and to also have lots of cleaner shrimp.
