Zebrasoma flavescens (Bennett, 1828)
Yellow tang, 20cm

Zebrasoma flavescens is relatively rare at Kwajalein. At Enewetak Atoll, northwest of Kwajalein, it was considerably more common. It is very similar to Zebrasoma scopas, with which it sometimes apparently hybridizes.

The one below may be a hybrid with Zebrasoma scopas.
