Select Variant
The Powder Brown Tang, also called the Powder Brown Surgeonfish, Japan Surgeonfish as well as White-faced Surgeonfish, has a brown body that has a white mark across the face between the eyes and mouth. The pectoral and anal as well as dorsal fins have dark brown and have lighter blue highlights near the point. The dorsal fin has an orange stripe. Tail fins are blue and have an orange vertical bar. The yellow stripe runs across the body, and against the dorsal and anal fins, creating a wishbone mark. A 125-gallon or larger aquarium is essential to ensure ample swimming space. Only keep 1 Powder Brown Tang per tank. Take care when housing different Tangs and Surgeonfish. Similar in shape Tangs can be extremely hostile towards one another. While Tangs are known to eat meaty food alongside divers in their aquarium, it's crucial that they receive lots of marine-based seaweed and algae. This can boost the immune system of Tangs, decrease aggression, and boost their overall health. Provide dried seaweed that is tied to a rock, or an organic clip and feed them at least three times a week. Sea Veggies, Seaweed Salad, and Ocean Nutrition are all ideal products and are extremely user-friendly. Approximate Size of Purchase: Small: 2" to 2 1/2"; Small/Medium: 2 1/2" to 3" Medium: 3" to 4"; Medium/Large: 4" to 5" Large: 5" to 6"

Helpful Questions From Clients
Frequently Asked Questions
Is hiring a professional necessary to set up a saltwater aquarium?

As a general rule, a larger custom aquarium might require installation by a professional. However, a kit from our online fish store is relatively affordable and beginner friendly. That means you should have no problem setting it up yourself.

Which saltwater aquarium fish should you choose when starting out?

Consider a yellow tang fish. This popular saltwater aquarium fish does a great job of coexisting with other types of fish you’ll find in our online fish store.

How does a saltwater aquarium differ from a freshwater one?

Saltwater aquariums require a bit more maintenance and monitoring than freshwater tanks. Different fish require different levels of salinity, pH tolerances, and temperature requirements. They also require specialized pumps, filters, and other equipment that can handle salt. We can guide you through everything you need to know to set up a healthy, thriving reef tank.

Do fish in a saltwater aquarium swim in a school?

That depends on the species. However, if it’s a fish that swims in a school in the wild, they’ll do the same in an aquarium. Some fish that swim in schools include the green and blue chromis, cardinalfish, and dartfish, for example. When ordering from an online fish store, make sure you do your research on how specific fish species behave to ensure they’ll school (or at least coexist) with your current fish.

Is the effort required to maintain a saltwater aquarium worth it?

Yes! Many aquarists dream of owning thriving saltwater aquariums. You have a tiny piece of the ocean in your home, featuring magical and exotic fish that can only survive in saltwater.
