The front half of their in a deep purple with the rear a bright yellow, and a speckled transition area in between. The face has a distinct black eye-line, and there's a nearly perfect black circle on the dorsal fin. This species was made moderately famous for being featured in Finding Nemo as gurgle, the cowardly member of the tank gang.
