Title
A great Bristletooth Two Spot Tang!
Origin: Melanesia

Size info:
Size M: approx. 2.75 - 3.75"

There once was a Bristletooth Two Spot,
Whose teeth were quite a fearsome lot.
Its diet consists of algae and plankton,
And its beauty rivals that of a wattled crane-proton.
A stunning fish, worth a second thought!
