Description
Atlantic Blue Tangs come in shades of light to dark blue depending on diet, health, stress, and environment. They are somewhat of a challenge to keep as they do not easily adjust to captivity. Because of this, smaller specimens are recommended. Juveniles come in bright yellow with blue edged fins and lose their coloration around 3 to 5 inches depending on the individual fish. If housed in a large aquarium, they can be kept in pairs or small groups and actually prefer this over being solitary. Atlantic Blue Tangs will spend their day picking at rockwork in search for hair algae to eat.
