This is a Yellow Tang. The "tang" is from the white barb at the base of it`s tail.
It is extremely sharp & forward facing. It will swim towards you & turn at the last second , slashing you with it.
On Planet Earth, a bunch of surprises including one from the garden called a "Blue Tailed Skink".
There`s also some medicinal pot, brand name Purple Erckle.
In the header & clicked to it, a few shots taken a la Olivia, from the car window.
A large spider I walked into last night & my Comet/ Marine Betta, the polka dotted dancer.
A hodge podge of things for you to wander with during your day.
Please have a peaceful one.
Thank you.

Oh boy oh boy is that a bright one!
I'd better go see what's behind the links.
btw, I'm barely able to read the text, unless I don glasses and rub my snout on the monitor! Might just be me however, as I do miss a few on the color chart tests.
Hey, KH, what the heck is that little critter in the hands? Quite the color scheme he's got there!
Wow, wonderful!
I don't know how you are able to do any work -- I don't think I'd be able to tear myself away from the tanks.
I'm having the same problem as NDD -- the text is very light.
Whoa, so innocent looking and so lethal.
Little Night Light.
NDD,
I messed up without noticing the text color change. Thanks for the 'heads' up.
The little lizard is from the garden. A "Blue Tailed Skink" .
I haven`t seen one in over 25 years, & it was quite a surprise when Teri found it. It`s back in the garden.
Andif,
The tanks are quite hypnotic actually. There`s always something going on, no matter when. I don`t think I could ever get indifferent about them.
Nancy p,
I`ve seen this tang fight with a new addition. It`s a very effective weapon. Fish feel threatened at times by other fish for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it`s the food source. Another fish with the same long snout as the Tang, could be a challenge to it`s food source. They both use their snout to reach into crevasses in search of food. Other fish with the same colour may pose a breeding challenge even though there would never be a danger of cross breeding.
It`s a strange underwater world I constantly am amazed by. Thank you.
Those skinks are common around here but we call them five lined skinks. Here's a couple of them I came across in a pile of wood I was stacking.
Hi Andif,
I didn`t want to be mistaken, but I remembered you posting them on BooMan`s. I sent in a pic of mine & we discussecd geographic range. I just wasn`t sure if it was you I was discussing them with. As I said, even though we have many lizards around, I hadn`t seen one of theses in many years & didn`t know if they were still around. It was a lovely surprise & also the fact that it was that small, they are obviously breeding. And that`s good news.
That yellow is beautiful.
Olivia,
When someone gives you yellow,
make yellowmanade.
Hah, I kill me. Thanks Olivia.
Have a great week-end.
