Blue Hippo Tang
I took this picture on February 7 at the Fort Fisher Aquarium on a Marine Biology lab field trip. While I was watching the blue tang swim around, I noticed it seemed to be eating the coral. Through some research, I learned that the blue tang has a symbiotic relationship with the coral. The fish was actually eating the algae off the coral which helps to keep the coral healthy.
