  Tang (fish) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tangs are a kind of saltwater fish which inhabit shallow reefs and beds of seagrass from the east coast of Africa northward to the Red Sea, over the broad span of the Atlantic, Indo-Pacific, and Oceania, and eastward to the Hawaiian Islands.
All Tangs and Surgeon Fish are characterised by having a forward facing spine (two on some species of surgeon) on each side of the caudal peduncle (visible as a short, horizontal stripe on the base of the tail in the above picture).
Aggression in Tangs is usually confined to presenting their tails to a would be predator or attacker and is usually minimal against conspecifics, some however have noticed the Purple Tang, Clown Tang and Sohal Tang to be more aggressive than most.
