This was designed for the Hawaii Reef Exhibit 2012, focusing on fish. Yellow Hawaiian Tang, also known as the
Yellow Sailfin Tang or Yellow Surgeonfish (Zebrasoma flavescens), is a saltwater fish species of the family Acanthurida. Adult fish can grow to 20 centimeters (7.9 in) in length, and 1–2 centimeters (0.39–0.79 in) in thickness. This species is bright daffodil yellow in color. They have a long snout-like mouth used to eat algae and seaweeds that suffocate corals. Both the dorsal and anal fins are large, extending for most of the length of the body. In the wild, yellow tang provide cleaner services to marine turtles.
