Fowleri Tang – Acanthurus fowleri

Also known as the Blackspine Surgeonfish, the Fowleri Tang stands out with a blue head accented by elegant lines behind the eyes, a brown body, yellow dorsal fin, and a white lyre-shaped tail.

It thrives in a 360+ gallon aquarium with plenty of live rock and open space for swimming. Best kept singly, as it can be territorial with other Tangs.

Diet: Primarily marine seaweed and algae, with some meaty foods. Offer dried seaweed on a clip or rock at least 3x per week to boost health and reduce aggression. Excellent for natural algae control.
