Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific
Latin Name: Acanthurus leucosternon
Care Level: Moderate to Difficult – thrives in well-established aquariums with ample swimming space, strong water flow, and stable water conditions
Powder Blue Tangs are herbivores that primarily graze on marine algae, supplemented with prepared herbivore foods. They are generally considered reef-safe, though underfed individuals may occasionally nip at soft corals or clam mantles.
