A blazing sunburst covers this tall, flat-sided tang, with orange rays fanning back across a sun-yellow body from a bright halo behind the eye. Its tall dorsal and anal fins are edged in blue, and a white scalpel spine sits in a royal-blue sheath on each side of the tail. Diving seabirds mark where it feeds on the Rainbow Reef, and it darts quickly from side to side on the line.

How to catch it
