Powder Brown Tang

Introducing the Powder Brown Tang, a striking saltwater fish that brings natural elegance and lively energy to any marine aquarium. Its powder-brown body with a subtle gradient and a contrasting tail glides gracefully through open water, turning heads under aquarium lighting. A favorite for reef and fish-only tanks alike, this tang is as entertaining to watch as it is rewarding to care for.

• Color & Appearance: Rich powder-brown body with graceful fins and a standout tail that adds depth and movement to the display.
• Size & Tank Requirements: Reaches up to 7–9 inches; ensure a spacious tank (75 gallons or larger) with ample swimming room and secure rockwork for hiding and grazing.
• Care Level & Compatibility: Moderate care level. Generally peaceful with compatible tank mates, but may establish territory with other tangs. Best kept in a mature system with stable parameters; monitor for signs of stress when introducing new fish.
• Diet & Nutrition: Primarily herbivorous, grazing on algae. Diet can be supported with spirulina, algae wafers, veggie-based foods, and occasional meaty treats to maintain eye-catching color and health.
• Water Parameters & Maintenance: Stable conditions are essential: temperature 72–78°F (22–26°C), pH 8.1–8.4, salinity 1.023–1.025. Maintain pristine water quality with regular water changes and vigilant nutrient control to keep nitrates low.
• Care Tips & Setup Recommendations: Quarantine new arrivals, acclimate slowly, provide strong filtration, and offer plenty of grazing surfaces. Create open swimming spaces paired with refuges and compatible corals or rockwork to reduce stress.
