Zebrasoma veliferum
Named for their sail-like dorsal and anal fins, these lovely fish have brown and white bars which overlie a fainter pattern of orange-yellow bars. When alarmed, they extend their dorsal and anal fins and enlarge their size. Grows to 15 inches.
They eat fleshy algae and pairs defend a joint feeding territory.
