      Glover's Reef- Blue Tang (Acanthurus coeruleus). September 28, 2013.

      A Tang? Blue Tang maybe, although probably not.
    • Hix
      Yes, the real Blue Tang - Acanthurus coeruleus
    • BeardsleyZooFan
      Definitely not Blue Tang. Perhaps Ornate Surgeonfish?
    • ThylacineAlive
      I investigated the Ornate Surgeonfish before posting this photo and found that it looked too different to be this, I think Blue Tang is much more likely.

      You know Blue Tang look like this, correct?
    • ThylacineAlive
      That's the Pacific Blue Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus), we're talking about the Atlantic Blue Tang (Acanthurus coeruleus), which looks very, very different and much more like the photographed fish.
