The blue tang is also called the palette surgeonfish, due to the black mark on its side that is shaped like a painters palette. The name surgeonfish refers to the spines near the fishs tail, which resemble a surgeons scalpel. This makes them dangerous to handle. Despite this, they are very popular aquarium fish, particularly after being popularized in animated movies.

History: Many species of surgeonfish in the family Acanthuridae are called blue tang. The Atlantic blue tang is entirely blue (though it is born yellow), while the powder blue tang is blue with a black facial area and yellow dorsal fin. To avoid confusion, the blue tang of the Indo-Pacific is known by several other names, including regal tang, palette surgeonfish, royal blue tang, and flagtail surgeonfish.
