General Notes: The Atlantic Blue Tang; though not as dazzlingly beautiful as the other "Blue Tangs" makes a fine aquarium addition. As juveniles their coloration is yellow with a blue ring around the eye. This coloration gives way as an adult to several shades of blue depending on the mood of the fish. Best kept singly and usually well-behaved in larger aquariums, this fish may become biligerent in smaller tanks. If underfed may nip large-polyped stony corals. Some adults may have a yellow tail.
