SRC Reef ID Quiz #9,

[Achilles Tang]

Tail end should look familiar to many folks here!

[Acanthurus pyroferus]

Should be the bigger naso family , Valmingii , Unicorn etc....they have multiple spines unlike tangs and surgeons......

[ryz]

they're still considered as tangs and surgeons.. still under the family acanthuridae. under different genus though

I am thinking that this may not be a tang..........

Anyway if its a tang i will go with naso family... probably naso unicornis or naso lopezi or naso ah!!! Can't make up my mind
