The blue tang (Acanthurus coeruleus) is a Tropical Marine (salt water) fish inhabiting the tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Many live around the Carribean reefs where they graze on algae. They have dangerously sharp blades on either side of the caudal peduncle which can inflict deep and painfull wounds, so great care is recommended when handling them.

Like all tangs they need a large proportion of algae in their diet, but also should have meat. I would suggest 1) New Life Spectrums Salt water pellets (best food out there) 2)Frozen mysis shrimp and 3)Nori.

A Blue Tang eats Seaweed/algae given to it daily as well as meaty foods such as Brine shrimp, Mysis, Squid. Frozen food is the best like; Emerald Entree and Marine Cuisine, they will eat about everything.

Blue tangs are mostly herbivorous, and so they eat mostly algae. They will however take shrimp and some other inveretbrates as well.
