Well I had a 55gal semi reef for over a year. I then bought the 125gal and upgraded over to it. I bought it from a lfs named aquamains, when it only had 1 head. Now it has like 6 heads.

It is a barb that is used in defense and attack against other fish. On the yellow tang, it is white but different colors on different tangs.

You can almost imagine that white line by their tails as a small scalpal blade. If threatened they will flick their tails at you and extend the blade. The other day I almost got hit by a Scopas at the LFS that I work at! SCARY!! And my boss has a decent sized scar from a Chevron. The color depends on what kind of tang it is. My Sohal's is orange.
