~Honu and Lauipala~
This Green Sea Turtle (honu) is getting cleaned by Yellow Tangs (lauipala). Like most surgeonfish, yellow tangs are algae eaters. This works well for the turtles that are unable to wash their own backs. Yellow tangs are the number one fish caught here in Hawaii for export to the aquarium market and are becoming very rare on some the Islands. Please don't buy any wild fish for your aquariums. You will make the turtles very happy.
