White Tail Bristletooth Tang

This tang (Ctenochaetus flavicauda) is native to the Western Pacific, particularly Fiji, Indonesia, and the Philippines. It inhabits coral reefs and rocky areas with abundant algae growth. One of the distinctive features of this tang is its comb-like teeth, which resemble bristles. These teeth are adapted for scraping algae off rocks and other surfaces in the wild.
