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.
