Yellow tang — size comparison — facts and sources
The yellow tang has a bright yellow, laterally flattened body and an elongated snout. Tall dorsal and anal fins create an oval outline. It lives on tropical and subtropical Pacific reefs, including around Hawaii and Japan.
It crops algae from rocks and other hard surfaces. The elongated snout reaches small recesses. During feeding it often pauses over one patch before moving to another algae-covered site.
Pale, sharp spines occur on both sides of the tail base. Used in defence, they can be directed towards an opponent during tail movements. Their whiteness contrasts strongly with the uniformly yellow body.
