Great pics! Beautiful fishes.....maybe you can answer this (stupid/newbie)question...on the yellow tangs I have seen pictured, they all have a little white "something" positioned at the beginning of their tail, what is that?

That's the spine. All tangs have them.

Thanks crimzy! Exposed like that, wouldn't that be painful?

Tangs are also called Surgeonfish. That is actually a knife like projection that can be used for protection.

Thanks! That third shot I'm hoping will be in Popular Photography. I was contacted by an editor about that pic for an article they were doing about aquarium photography.
This forum is really great. I hope to get some tips/ideas on how to make my tank better. It's a slow process right now with photography AND the tank as a hobby. Or should I say expensive process....
