Sexing Yellow Tangs?

[Yogre]

I currently have a yellow tang in quarantine... just curious if there's a way to sex them? From what I can tell they're not sexually dimorphic.

Thanks!

I don't think they can really be sexed...not visually anyway.

No way to do it that I'm aware of.

Some have said that males have a "rough" sandpaper like patch near the tail on tangs, while felames do not. But I dont believe this has ever been confirmed or denied.

Thanks for all the replies, everyone. Just idle curiosity on my part... I'm certainly not looking to breed them!

When they go to the bathroom see if it stands or sits.
