Nope I get red x's too.

I can see them perfectly, wonder why you cant.

 

[FFrankie]

I can see them fine. I am wondering if it is a juvenile Vlamingii.

Definitely not a Vlamingii (although that's the most similar looking tang). The spots are dark green instead of blue and are circles instead of angular. Also the head shape isn't right. My tang also has HUGE dark eyes. The coloration is also wrong for a Vlamingii, with a green and purple flank (hard to see in the pic).

Thanks,

Art

Strange, I get red X's on my work laptop, but it works on my home PC.

Let's see if a url link works:

That's it!!! Thanks so much.

On liveaquaria she's listed as a Fiji Hump-nose unicorn tang (Naso tonganus).

Aaaaah, So thats what it is.

 

[Michael7979]

Pictures still don't show up but the links work.

Very different looking fish......... but cool!

 

[jennmac415]

hi michael...good to see you are still reefin!

 

[reefboy1]

Ugh. Further searching for the humpnose or spotted unicorn tang found that she also looks very much like a juvenile Naso cf. maculatus. Here's a link to a german site: http://images.google.com/imgres?img...&prev=/images?q=Naso+tuberosus&svnum=10&hl=en.

This is my A. Japonicus Japanese/White Face Tang. I saved him from Deathco. He was horribly covered in ich and is back to beautiful again. He is still in Hypo QT, is eating well and begs like a dog for food everytime I pass by.

 

[kar93]

nice tang schigara

 

[Reeftanks6]
