The Powder Brown Tang, Acanthurus japonicus, also known as the Powder Brown Surgeonfish, Japan Surgeonfish, and White-faced Surgeonfish. The Powder Brown Tang has an oval disk shaped body and beautiful coloration, with a generally brown to blackish blue body, and black dorsal and anal fins that have a beautiful blue edging. A red band marks the back of the dorsal fin and yellow stripes run along the body just above and below these fins. The Powder Brown Tang also features a single spine on each side of the caudal peduncle, which is called as scalpel.

The Powder Brown Tang loves to graze, so we suggest keeping live rocks which can provide algae growth and to create crevices where it can inhabit. It is best kept as the only Tang in the tank, unless kept in a large and cleverly decorated system where it can hide if threatened.

I could be happier with my powder brown tang he is eating good and travelling the whole reef . my order arrived next day with warm packs in a insulated box . saltwater fish is best in my book. Thank you for great deals

Breaking the rules here! Purchased along with a smaller Powder Blue and the Powder Brown is doing great. Started eating immediately in my quarantine tank and very friendly. Sees me coming and comes over for pellets and freeze dried mysis! Great fish!

Very happy with this hard to keep fish. No ich, no stress. I definitely recommend taking 4-5 hrs to acclimate. He is happy and king of the tank. Very social and colors are amazing.
