The Atlantic Blue Tang is a fish that originates from the Atlantic Ocean. They display a yellow coloration as juveniles, and then changes to a brilliant blue as they grow older. Plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots is recommended. Seaweed is important for this fish's diet. This would make a great addition to larger reef and fish only aquaria. Be careful not to mix with conspecifics, as there will be aggression.
