"Unusual Yellow Tang"

While most Yellow Tangs ((Zebrasoma flavescens) are solid yellow, this Yellow Tang has a large white patch, symmetric on both sides. This is the only one like it I've seen in my dives off the coast of Hawaii.

It was photographed in about 40 feet of water off the south Kohala Coast near Puako Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Photographed with a Nikon N90s in a Sea&Sea NX90 housing with two Ikelite 200 strobes. Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro lens. Fuji Provia 100F transparency film scanned with a Nikon LS-2000.
