#blue tang

[discoscone]

Fun fact: Blue Tangs (The Dory fish) have a venomous spine near their tail fin. It’s their primary form of self defense. Dory was running around with the fish equivalent of a shiv the entire movie and just forgot. It’s very on brand for her but I will never get over it. And maybe some of you are thinking “It’s a kid’s movie. Maybe they didn’t include that feature.”. Nah! It’s there! They took the time to draw it. Baby girl is clueless and armed.

Daily fish fact #526

Regal blue tang!

As a species of surgeonfish, it has a hidden caudal spine on both sides of its body near its tail! These spines will point outwards when the fish feels stressed and are used to scare away predators.

🐠 Daily Fish Fact: 🐠

*Finding Nemo Series #2*

Regal Tang (aka Blue Tang): The eggs of this species are pelagic, each containing a single droplet of oil for flotation. The fertilized eggs hatch in twenty-four hours, revealing small, translucent larvae with silvery abdomens and rudimentary caudal spines. Once opaque, the black "palette" pattern on juveniles do not fully connect until mature. These fish reach sexual maturity at 9–12 months of age.

Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus leucosternon)

Family: Surgeonfish Family (Acanthuridae)

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

Found exclusively in shallow coral reef habitats in coastal regions of the Indian Ocean, the Powder Blue Tang is a distinctively marked herbivorous fish that feeds on algae, using its elongated snout and narrow, sharp-tipped teeth to scrape it off of rocks, corals and other hard surfaces. In doing so, members of this species serve a vital function within reef ecosystems, cleaning algae off of coral and ensuring that it does not prevent sunlight from reaching the coral’s dinoflagellates (microscopic organisms that live in the coral’s tissues and produce nutrients through photosynthesis, sustaining both themselves and their coral hosts.) As algae is their sole food source, Powder Blue Tangs populations vary considerably depending on seasonal variations in algae abundance, and this drastically alters their behaviour and lifestyle; when food is abundant they are highly social (living and feeding in large schools) and travel freely around their home reef, but during periods of algae scarcity they become solitary, territorial and highly aggressive towards other members of their species, defending a small algae-supporting area by chasing or biting any other tangs that come near. When algae abundance allows for it gathering in schools provides members of this species with protection from larger predatory fish such as tuna, groupers and jacks, but when threatened lone individuals may still avoid predation by taking shelter within the reef, or attempt to defend themselves using a pair of sharp-tipped scales at the base of their tails (a characteristic seen in many members of the surgeonfish family, known colloquially as the fish’s “scalpel.”) Powder Blue Tangs breed when food is abundant (with females producing buoyant eggs that float to the surface and hatch within around 24 hours of being externally fertilized by a male,) and unlike many members of the surgeonfish family in which juveniles have wildly different markings to adults members of this species have fairly consistent markings throughout their entire lives (although it has been noted that their blue bodies may become paler as a result of illness or stress.)

Daily fish fact #277

Atlantic blue tang!

This fish glows green under blue or ultraviolet light! They're herbivores and typically eat algae and plankton, even serving as cleaners by eating it off of other fish.
