Does anyone have a good reference for the differences (colors, markings, shape, etc.) between Blue Tang's from different regions? Specifically the differences between Blue Tangs from Solomon, Fiji, and Indian Ocean regions (areas listed on liveaquaria.com site).
Reason: I just lost a Blue Tang due to it's small size and an encounter with a growing green crab. Apparently the tang's defense mechanism of "playing dead" isn't the best thing to do when you encounter a hungry crab. The tang was just barely an inch, so there wasn't much of a fight. More of just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyway, I'd like to get a new one from the same region because I loved the markings on her so well.
Thanks,
Kurt
