A true showstopper for your reef.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This striking hybrid showcases a mesmerising blend of its Powder Blue Tang and White Cheek Tang lineage. Expect a vibrant blue body with a distinctive white cheek patch and subtle darker tones, often accented by a bright yellow dorsal fin. An active and graceful swimmer, this tang will constantly graze on rockwork, contributing to algae control while commanding attention with its unique coloration and elegant movements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Considered an advanced species, the Powder Blue Tang Hybrid requires a stable, mature marine aquarium. It is semi-aggressive and can be territorial, especially towards other tangs. Careful tankmate selection is crucial. This hybrid is susceptible to stress and common marine parasites, making pristine water quality and a robust quarantine protocol essential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimum of 550 litres (approximately 145 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and rockwork for grazing and hiding. Stable water parameters are vital: pH 8.1-8.4, temperature 22-26\u00b0C, and salinity 1.020-1.025. Strong water flow and high oxygenation are also necessary to replicate their natural habitat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As a primarily herbivorous species, the Powder Blue Tang Hybrid thrives on a diet rich in marine algae. Offer dried seaweed (Nori) on a veggie clip multiple times daily, supplemented with high-quality spirulina-based flakes or pellets. Occasional meaty frozen foods can be given, but plant matter should constitute the vast majority of its diet to ensure optimal health and colour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you buy Powder Blue Tang Hybrid online from Corais de Vidro, you&#8217;re investing in healthy aquarium fish nurtured under expert care.
