Zebrasoma flavescens (Bennett 1828),
(lau'ipala) the Yellow Sailfin Tang. This is a
"standard" in the marine aquarium hobby if there ever
was one. Only certain damselfish species grace the tanks of
aquarists more than Z. flavescens. To plate size, eight inches, in
the wild. A large one off of Kona, HI 2019.

Ostracion meleagris Shaw 1796, the Blue
(male), Black (female) or Whitespotted Boxfish. Vying with the
common Cowfish, Lactoria cornuta, for most commonly offered species
in the family. Like other (demersal) Boxfish species, this one needs to
be well fed... on the tank bottom, not the surface or mid-water. Take
care with aggressive feeding tankmates. A juvenile female of about
2.5" off Kona, HI 2019.
