Yellow tang

Yellow tang (in the surgeonfish family) bring bright rays of color into a sometimes drab environment.  We often encounter large numbers of them grazing algae on coral structures.  They grow up to 8 inches long.


This morning, almost as soon as we jumped in the water, we encountered a single yellow tang, cleaning algae off the shell and flippers of a sea turtle.  Always a treat to see.
