blue eye yellow kole tang?

[jar41]

Hi Can't find much info about them... Are they different than regular Kole? My LFS say they only grow to 4 inches. Is it true?

this is listed here as a Ctenochaetus binotatus. common names Blue Eyed Kole Tang, or Two Spot Bristletooth Tang.

ugh. :crazy1:

yeah, i always like to take their "advice" with a grain of salt. there are certain LFS stores near me that i trust, and others that i wouldn't listen to if they paid me.

RC is always a good fact checking reference though. cheers!

I wouldn't say they are the same. The blue eyed gets bigger so you have to be prepared for it. I also think they are more peaceful than the Kole.
