A sky blue colored fish, with a yellow spine, the Powder Blue Tang is a beautiful fish to have in the reef tank. It is also known as the Powder Blue Surgeonfish. The Powder Blue Tang needs a decent amount of hiding places and can be susceptible to ich therefore we recommend using a QT (as with any new livestock purchase) and using cleaner shrimp as maintenance men is always appreciated by the fish.
