Description: The Atlantic Blue Tang is a fish that originates from the Atlantic Ocean. They display a yellow coloration as juveniles, and then change to a brilliant blue color as they age. Provide plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots. Seaweed is important for this fish's diet, along with a high-quality pellet food and meaty frozen foods. This would make a great addition to larger reef and fish-only aquaria. Be careful not to mix this fish with conspecifics, as there will be aggression amongst the tangs. Once established, this fish can become quite territorial.
