Remember a couple months ago I posted about my Blue Tang and Trigger "getting into it" and the Tang loseing a "Spike"....

Well, it was bent back and he swam around like that for a while, finely it just fell out...
I thought he might be "left handed" for life...
Just noticed this today as he swam by the glass...
It's "growing back"...:jumping:
(sorry bout the "fuzzy" pic)

Squidd, that is really cool! But makes sense since it is the tang's primary mode of defense that it could grow back. Thanks for the update! I little bit more knowledge to share here.

I didn't know they could grow their spikes back. Cool.

Yeah, kinda neat...Definetly a new white "pointy" spike...
He had just a "hole" or socket when his old one fell out...
Kinda like a new fingernail, I guess...:thinking:
