Description

The Powder Brown Tang, also known as the Powder Brown Surgeonfish, Japan Surgeonfish, and White-Faced Surgeonfish, has a brown body with a white mark on the cheek between the mouth and eyes. The pectoral, anal, and dorsal fins are dark brown with light blue highlights at the tip. The dorsal fin also has an orange stripe present. The tail is blue with a yellow vertical bar. Yellow striping runs along the body, against the anal and dorsal fins, forming a wishbone-shaped marking.

A 125 gallon or larger aquarium is necessary to provide plenty of swimming room for the Powder Brown Tang or Powder Brown Surgeonfish. It is a very passive fish that will have trouble with other aggressive Tangs. Keep only one per tank.
