Lieutenant Tang (Indian Ocean) Pufferfish Its light cream colored bodyThe Lieutenant tang has a lovely olive to pale yellow colored body with electric blue highlights around its scalpel and on the end of its tail; these highlights are then edged in deep navy. Its eyes are orange and behind this are two dark black markings which streak back towards its body. Since these markings are where the fish's neck would be they give it another common name, the vampire tang, as it looks as though it has been bitten. Males and
