May POTM: TANGS

[VFX]

Don't mind which one you pick for the competition but I thought I'd take this opportunity to share a few of my Tang pics...

















And finally one for Anthony...

Is this the only tank that has even more Yellow Tangs than yours?

Only 25? There should be a few more than that...



That's still not all of them as they move too fast to get a pic

Hi Laurie, FWIW, this is a Pacific sailfin, Zebrasoma veliferum. The caudal fin ("tail") is yellow, the pattering in the dorsal fin is criss-crossing instead of arching, and the bands alternate betweeen grey and white between the yellow-orange bands in the body.

Still a gorgeous fish. I like how in the Pacific sailfins, the splotch around the scalpels are a deep purple.

By contrast, here's a pic of my Z. desjardini, the Red Sea sailfin (the picture is a few years old but it's a good side profile showing the differences):
