Sohal/clown tang hybrid?

kingkai512 · Jan 21, 2020

Has anyone ever seen one in person? I was only able to find one pic on the internet but they apparently exist.

If you have seen one in a store please let me know where!

I wasn't aware that their distribution in the wild overlapped. The Sohal tang is a Red sea endemic and the Clown tang although found on the east coast of Africa isn't found as far north as the Red sea.

sounds like a terrifying combination, like the t-rex raptor dinosaur in jurassic world :eek:

Might be photoshopped. In all my years this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this

WOW! I have never heard of the place

Yes socotra is an island off the coast of africa where sohals and clown tang populations overlap, so any fish vendors off that coast might have possibly seen one...
