| Zebrasoma gemmatum (Valenciennes 1835), the
Spotted Sailfin Tang. Well-named in the vernacular and science;
that is, spotted and as rare, beautiful and expensive as a precious
stone. This Indian Ocean endemic is rarely imported to the west,
and what a shame. It is just as hardy as any of the
Zebrasoma and a real beauty. Aq. pic. |

| Zebrasoma scopas (Cuvier 1829), the
Brown or better, Two-Tone Sailfin Tang. The former common name can
be a bit of a misnomer; I have seen scopas specimens as
brightly yellow as a flavescens and as dark as a
rostratum. As young they're different still, with light
colored fronts grading to dark variable spots and lines. Occasional
"dirty" or mixed-color crosses between the brown and
Z. flavescens are encountered along their contiguous
distributions. Widely ranging in the Indo-Pacific. Shown: A
juvenile (tiny one inch one in Australia) |
