Palete Surgeonfish

Around Ohio

Palette Surgeonfish

This lovely blue fish comes from the Indo-Pacific Ocean. It is supposed to be a calm fish. I like the way it seems to be peeking out at the faces lined up on the other side of the glass. It is called a palette fish because of the unique black markings on its blue body. It is also known as a Blue Tang. I thought it was one of the most beautiful fish in the tank.

I didn't know a fish could look shy, but that one does.
