Acanthurus
Acanthurus est genus piscum marinorum et typus familiae Acanthuridarum. Fere semis numeri specierum familiae sunt species huius generis, quarum omnes in oceanis tropicis habitant, praecipue ad saxa scopulosque curalii, plurimis speciebus in oceanis Indico Pacificoque, sed nonnullis in Oceano Atlantico quoque. Multae claros vividosque habent colores, et ergo populo gratissimae sunt in commercio aquariorum aquae salsae.
