If you've seen the Pixar movie Finding Nemo, you might remember the very yellow fish obsessing over the bubbles escaping the treasure chest in his tank. That was Bubbles, a yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens), also known as the somber surgeounfish.
This specimen was a bit less hyper in its tank at the Haga Ocean butterfly house, but I was still pleasantly surprised at how sharp I managed to catch it in the not at all brightly lit aquarioum section.
Common name: Regal Tang
Scientific name: Paracanthurus hepatus
Family: Acanthuridae (Surgeonfish)
Location: SEA LIFE Hunstanton
Date: 24 August 2024
Regal Tangs also go by the name Palette Surgeonfish. They are possibly the most recognisable of all the Tangs. Not least thanks to Dory from Finding Nemo.
