maybe mine is a younger version of neokn tang

when grow up the blue line and yellow tail fade off

but the eyes and the two spot near the tail is almost the same

[sunny03]

[sunny03]

[ryz]

oh.. has two spot near the tail... think it's a unique characteristic of Ctenochaetis Binotatus(twospot Bristle-tooth) but not sure if others also have this similar feature

very nice man.. where u bought it? and how much? tell me if u selling urs

[sunny03]

don think i be selling it hahhaha

keeping it to eat hair algae see the belly bloated up

[Dispar_Anthias]

Hmm... weird tang.. seem like a cross breed of 2 species.... so far tangs with 2 black spot on end of dorsal and ###### fin are nigroris, and nigrofucus but both dun seem to look much like it

[weileong]

Maybe still stress and the true color is not out yet or could be the photograph not showing the actual color.

[Dispar_Anthias]

Yup could be........ and actually photograph may not show actual color lah, you never know

[sunny03]

stress dont think so been in my for around 1 week ++ and is a big brother in the tank

maybe is my cam skills but keep moving and does not stop for photo

[vagabond]

could it be a blue eyed kole?

[ryz]

I thought the two spot one is ctenochaetis binotatus?

[lvcap]
