Red Sea
Sailfin Tang
A member of the surgeonfish family, the sailfin tang gets its name from the big fins it can extend that look like…sails. Very original! All surgeonfish have a razor sharp spine at the base of the tail called a scalpel, hence the name. The sailfish tang is a very common fish on the reef.
