Help!

Here is a photo of a kole tang you can clearly see the "tang" or blade at the area where the tail joins the rest of the body. When threatened the tang will aim its tail and try to take a swipe out of the offending fish. Thats how they defend themselves for the most part.



I hope this helps

I had a tang get his blade bent backwards once, so it stuck straight out...maybe a rock injury or who knows...so he ran around like a kamikaze but it eventually went back. Or dropped off..hmm...it was gone anyway.
