Tang at Seattle Aquarium

Sorry for the bad pic. I took this picture at the Seattle Aquarium, no one was around to talk fish but I'm curious what kind of fish this is. Thanks

:lol:We all seemed to chime in at about the same time.

That picture is much more clear, the one in the RF fish gallery doesn't look like it has as much red on it. The one at the aquarium looked to have a bright red on it instead of orange. Thanks

Here is a pic of what is probably the same Powder Brown Tang, at the Seattle Aquarium, taken, on one of our visits, in Feb. of 08.

That's an excellent powder brown. Too bad they are not all that nice.

Either a powder brown or hybrid gold rim tang.

This name sounds better. Don't know how or why anyone would have come up with the name Powder Brown for this fish.

Because it resembles and is very closely related to a Powder Blue, but is brown where a Powder Blue is blue.

It is a beatiful fish. If I didn't have the powder blue I would have one of these guys.
