Blue Tang - Petit Planet Creature

At a glance

How to catch Blue Tang

Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.

1. Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
2. Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
3. Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.

Where and when to find it

Coral Zone · Acanthurus coeruleus

The biofluorescent color emitted by the blue tang is affected by external light.

For instance, some anglers have caught blue tang that appeared green. This is likely due to the UV intensity at the time of the catch.

The impact of this color change within the species remains unclear, but it's unlikely for the blue tang to see their companions turn green while underwater.
