"The Blue tang, Palette surgeonfish, Regal tang, Hippo tang, Indo-Pacific tang, Flagtail surgeonfish or Blue surgeonfish, Paracanthurus hepatus, is a fish often found in marine aquaria, the only member of the genus Paracanthurus. It has a royal blue body, yellow tail, and black ‘palette’ design. It grows to a maximum of generally 12.25 inches and is mostly herbivorous. Its range varies widely and can be around the reefs of East Africa, Hawaii, Japan, Samoa, New Caledonia, and the Great Barrier Reef."
