Indo-Pacific Bluetang

Also called: Palette Surgeonfish, Regal tang

Scientific name: Paracanthurus hepatus

The Palette Surgeonfish is not common, but they sure stand out in the reef crowd. They are very hard to photograph. I got luck to find one on the upper reef feeding.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
