Pronunciation: [ɐkˈanθjʊɹəs kˈa͡ɪɹɜːɡəs] (IPA) 
Acanthurus chirurgus is commonly known as the blue tang or surgeonfish. However, there are also several other synonyms for this colorful fish, including the doctorfish, the scalpel surgeonfish, and the Atlantic blue tang. In the wild, these fish are found primarily in the Western Atlantic, from the Gulf of Mexico to Brazil, and are often seen in shallow coral reefs. Their unique coloration and scalpel-like spike on their tails make them a popular species for aquariums, but they also play an important ecological role in their natural habitat, feeding on algae and providing a food source for larger predators.
