From our species guide
In plain words: The kole tang is a brown fish with thin blue lines all over. It has a bright gold ring around each eye, like it is wearing gold goggles. In the wild it lives only around Hawaii and one other small island in the Pacific.
Kole tangs use their bristle-like teeth to comb film algae and detritus off rock, glass and sand. They are among the more peaceful tangs and very hardy once settled.
Their golden eye ring and fine blue pinstripes give them a subtle beauty up close.
