Tangs in waiting

This picture came out kinda cool. The tangs are circling waiting for the newly added (5 minutes) cleaner shrimp to give them a go.




OOOOH, thats the spot!!




Workin at the gill wash..



Can you see his defense mechanism?



We just fed the tank so the water is a touch cloudy.

 

Thats some really cool pics ralph glad to see the fish are liking the cleaner

 

Ralph - thanks for sharing !!! Great pics !!! Love seeing the cleaner shrimp cleaning your beautiful fish !!!

 

Ralph - is his defense mechanism, what looks like an eye on his tail?

 

It is that area. If you look close its the same barb as the yellow tang has, just camoflauged better. His is pretty large, but not nearly as large as the Naso tangs in my tank.

 

oh... I see it now (thanks) ... wow, do they use that barb to whip thier tail and stab a predator?

 

Wow..those are some neat shots! Would love to get some cleaner shrimp....but hear I will have to part with my hawkfish if I do. Hard decision because he has such personality. I'm about to post a pic of my yellow tang actually...would like some of you more experienced to take a look at a couple spots. Dreaming of a tank like this someday! Looks great!
