Yellowtail Tang feeding on filamentous algae growing on the corals of a reef filled with sea urchins inhabiting every available nook and cranny. Tangs are part of an extended family of fish including surgeonfish, unicorn fish and tangs, all with extremely sharp scalpel-like spines on either side of their tails. However despite their lethal spines, they are grazers, feeding mostly on algae growing on coral reefs.
Individually crafted - we take pride in our unique collection of underwater photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of tropical fish are printed individually to order.
