| Comments: | One fish each has been reported from off Boca Raton, Florida (2000) and at Gray's Reef National Marine Sanctuary (2006). Maybe an aquarium release, as the species is one of the four tangs that make up 90% of Hawaii's ornamental export market (Ref. 83725). Ref: Schofield, P.J., 2010 | ||||
