About Two Spot Bristletooth Tang
In 1955, American ichthyologist John Ernest Randall first recognized the Ctenochaetus binotatus or Two Spot Bristletooth Tang. These beautiful fish are often seen in pairs, especially during breeding in summer. The two-spotted tooth tang that not everyone knows about is its breeding habits and has never seen it spawn. Each egg produced will float on the substrate until it hatches.
