Yellow Tang

Design

The yellow tang is designed with sharp spines near its tail to help protect itself against predators and to anchor it to the rocks while sleeping. The mouth is perfectly designed to eat the algae on rocks. These designs were not the results of random, chance processes; they reflect the provision and creativity of its Creator.
