Acanthurus thompsoni (Fowler 1923), the
White-Tailed Surgeonfish, a good name for this species except for
its populations in Hawaii which bear no white on their tail areas
(at right). Another name for this planktivore is Thompson's Surgeonfish.
Though not a striking beauty, this Whitetail tang is a good feeder and
stays moderate small (to ten inches). Rarely imported into the trade.

consuming fine, filamentous algae. Reserved for native Hawaiian use in
Hawai'i, but available from elsewhere. Juvenile in Hawai'i.
