About Indian Gold Ring Bristletooth Tang
The Indian Gold Ring Bristletooth Tang is a small, compressed laterally fish with a dark brown to olive-green body. A distinctive golden-yellow ring or crescent marking appears around the eye, which is its most recognizable feature. Fine comb-like teeth (bristles) line the jaws, an adaptation for its algae-grazing diet.
