I thought it best also not to give too much info as this would be a very valuable fish. I have seen both of those tangs you mentioned at the Big Island, however.Great video! Which island was that shot on? We dove the Big Island a year or so ago and didn't see any unicorn or sail fin tangs. I was wondering if they are not evenly distributed though out the islands.
Edit : Never mind...don't want to reveal the location of the color morph tang.
I will be happy to comply, sorry, I didn't know.Welcome to R2R!

It's been my experience that you can see different species on different reefs, I guess the distribution is however the ocean tides distributes the fertilized eggs, so it can be very random. I usually see sailfins and unicorns either individually or in adult pairs. They don't usually form the larger schools like yellows or convicts, so they could be there but you didn't happen to see the limited number.
Thanks so much Bruce, We are just getting started. We have been shooting videos for almost 20 years, and as a pro video editor, my time was always spent on other's video. I'm retired, and finally getting around to doing the final edits and color grading to show our work. I'm putting a few other videos from our current 10 on R2R, and am currently working on a series from Rarotonga in the Cook Islands where they have a lot of twin spot, sunset, and 3 spot wrasses from juvi's to female harems, to the males and supermales. I'm also working on one that shows some of the amazing transformations such as the yellowtail wrasse, and the oriental sweetlips, so stay tuned, or better yet subscribe to our channel, and you will be notified.Please come back often! I became immersed in your Mantaray Island series, all of it so very beautiful! Great to see the natural reef in high definition, with beauties like those Richmond's wrasse, and All! Those! Parrotfish!!
Thanks for sharing!

I never saw a lot of Achilles tangs. They seem to pair up like the sailfin tangs instead of schooling like convicts. The pairs I saw stayed close to a rather small territory, and had a convenient hiding place that they would venture out from to feed. I guess you had to be in the right place at the right time. We spend around 100 man-hours in the water when we do a trip, so we have more exposure.Vacationed in both Big Island & Oahu and saw every imaginable fish BUT the Achilles Tang ... ;Drowning
Sad life ...
