The Blue Doctorfish (Acanthurus chirurgus), also known as the Blue Tang Surgeonfish, is a vibrant, herbivorous fish found in tropical and subtropical waters, primarily in the Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Characterized by its bright blue body and sharp tail spine, this species plays a vital role in coral reef ecosystems by grazing on algae, helping to maintain reef health. Typically growing to 15–20 cm, Blue Doctorfish are commonly seen in coral reefs or rocky areas, often in small schools. They feed on algae and other plant matter, and their sharp tail spine serves as a defense mechanism against predators. While they are popular in the aquarium trade, they require specific care to thrive in captivity.
