Two Spot Bristletooth Tangs have several distinguishing features. The name comes from the 2 black spots above and below the caudal area. They also have a blue ring around their eye with the same colour running along the top of the dorsal and anal fins. Their body colour is a blend of orange into brown, with paler spots over the face and green/blue lines running down its body. Juveniles have a yellow tail that darkens as they mature. The caudal spines at the base of the tail are used for defence, so handle with care.
