Regal tangs, also known as blue tangs, have several adaptations that help them thrive in their marine environment. Their vibrant blue coloration provides camouflage among coral reefs, protecting them from predators. They possess a sharp spine on their tails, which they can use defensively against threats. Additionally, their herbivorous diet is supported by specialized teeth that allow them to efficiently graze on algae, maintaining their health and the balance of their ecosystem.
Regal tangs get about 12" long.

Regal tangs, also known as blue tangs, reproduce through a process called external fertilization. During spawning, males and females release eggs and sperm into the water column simultaneously, often in the early morning hours. The fertilized eggs float and develop in the open ocean, where they hatch into larvae. This method of reproduction allows for a wide dispersal of young fish, increasing their chances of survival.
Possible but not recommended as seahorses need very little current in a tank with many anchor points. Seahorses if picked on can not defend themselves.
Tangs's population is 686.
Blue tangs have no threats.
Along with common fish adaptations like fins and gills, the blue tang (and all tangs) have a spike on the caudal peduncle (base of the tail) used for defence.
