Powder Brown Tang

Powder Brown Tang

Snapshot: Sporting a primarily brown body, it may shimmer with a grayish hue under tank lighting. An eye-catching orange strip adorns its dorsal fin.

 

Other tidbits: Can grow up to 20cm or so. Native to the tropical waters of the Indo-West Pacific region.  

 

Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish-only system, or reef aquarium with plenty of swimming room.

  • Aquarium set-up: This fish needs a tank on the larger side to accommodate its energetic nature. Enhance its environment with plenty of live rock hideaways, ensuring both shelter and exploration opportunities. And remember, ample swimming space is non-negotiable for this lively species! Maintain an aquatic utopia by nailing the basics: rock-solid water quality with top-notch filtration and routine water changes.

    Feeding: For tangs, algae is king! Load up on algae-based essentials like toasted nori sheets, algae flakes, and pellets. And for a gourmet twist, treat them to frozen brine shrimp enriched with spirulina. It's an algae feast fit for royalty!

    AQT note: All our fish feast on a diet of seaweed, marine pellets, flakes and frozen treats under our care. Keep the feast going in your tank!
