Powder Blue Tang – Small – Acanthurus leucosternon
The Small Powder Blue Tang displays the species’ signature electric blue body, striking black facial mask, and yellow dorsal fin in a juvenile form. At this size, it is highly active, curious, and constantly grazing on algae, making it an energetic and visually captivating addition to a mature reef aquarium.
This tang thrives in a well-established reef tank with plenty of swimming space, moderate to strong flow, and ample rockwork for grazing and hiding. Add only after the aquarium has fully cycled and parameters are stable. A minimum tank size of 75 gallons is recommended for a small specimen to support its activity and early growth.
Small Powder Blue Tangs benefit from algae-rich diets and premium prepared foods from San Francisco, Hikari, PE, TDO, and New Life Spectrum. Supplement with Julian Sprung’s Sea Veggies for optimal grazing nutrition and vibrant coloration.
Approximate product size: 1.5"–3".
