The Regal Tang, also known as the Palette Surgeonfish or Blue Tang, is a stunning marine fish beloved for its vibrant coloration and graceful swimming behavior.
 
Appearance: This fish is characterized by its striking royal blue body marked with bold black markings and a bright yellow tail fin. It has a distinctive oval-shaped body, a small mouth with bristle-like teeth, and a retractable spine, or "scalpel," near its tail base, which it uses for defense.
Habitat: Regal Tangs are typically found in coral-rich areas of the tropical Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and islands throughout the region. They prefer shallow, clear waters with strong currents, often inhabiting reef slopes and outer reef areas.
Behavior: These fish are generally peaceful but can become territorial, especially towards other tangs or fish that resemble them. In the wild, they form loose aggregations or small groups, sometimes associating with other surgeonfish species.
Diet: Regal Tangs are herbivores, primarily feeding on algae and marine vegetation. In captivity, they should be offered a varied diet consisting of high-quality marine algae, seaweed sheets, and supplemented with vegetable-based flake or pellet foods. It's crucial to provide a balanced diet to maintain their health and vibrant coloration.
Aquarium Care: Keeping Regal Tangs in captivity requires a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming room and hiding places. They thrive in well-established reef aquariums with stable water parameters and strong water flow. Adequate filtration and regular water changes are essential for their health and well-being.
