Naso Tang

"We could use a little help identifying this fish, photographed while snorkeling."
Well, after a long wait, a diver from the "Aloha State" was kind enough to identify this rascal for us! In his words:
"Probably had the answer to this by now--it's a Naso Tang, or Orangespine Unicornfish. The double orange stripes highlighting the double orange tangs on the caudal peduncle are unique. That and the grey body and light forehead are diagnostic of only this species."
As it turned out, we didn't know it yet. Thanks a bunch...Great job! |  | Pinktail Triggerfish
