Powderblue Surgeonfish

Also called: Powder blue tang

Scientific name: Acanthurus leucosternon

The Blue Tang was quite common in the outer reefs of the Maldives, but I've also seen in around Komodo in Indonesia. Like the other Blue Tang, it was very difficult to photograph, that is, until the Mantas showed up. Then it seemed like it wouldn't get out of the picture.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
