Surgeonfish, also known as tangs, are a diverse group of tropical reef fish that captivate with their vibrant colors and unique features. One such species is the Pletail unicornfish (Naso brevirostris) juvenile, whose horn will continue to grow as it matures. This young surgeonfish displays a small horn on its forehead, hinting at the majestic creature it will become. Another stunning member of this family is the Achilles Tang (Surgeonfish), found in the Tropical Indo-Pacific region. Its striking appearance showcases a beautiful combination of orange, black, and white markings that make it stand out among coral reefs. A composite image featuring various blue tropical reef fish against a black background reveals the mesmerizing beauty of these creatures. The Blue triggerfish (Pseudobalistes fuscus), Bicolour angelfish (Centropyge bicolor), Elongate surgeonfish (Acanthurus mata), and Yellowtail tang/surgeonfish (Zebrasoma xanthurum) create an enchanting underwater tapestry. Similarly, a composite image showcasing yellow tropical reef fish against a dark backdrop highlights their radiant hues. The Falcula butterflyfish (Chaetodon falcula), Yellow boxfish (Ostracion cubicus), Golden butterflyfish (Chaetodon semilarvatus), and Red Sea clownfish (Amphiprion bicinctus) add splashes of sunshine to any coral ecosystem they inhabit. The Bluespine unicornfish (Naso unicornis) can be found from Shark Reef to Jolande in Ras Mohammed National Park. With its distinctive spines protruding from its head and body, this species possesses an otherworldly charm that leaves divers in awe. In Laamu Atoll, Maldives, a school of powderblue surgeonfish (Acanthurus leucosternon) can be seen feeding together.
