How to catch Regal Tang
Use the Fishing Rod. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Cast the Fishing Rod into the right water: rivers and lakes for freshwater fish, coastal waters for saltwater fish.
- Wait for the nibbles, then strike when the line bites down.
- Higher-quality saltwater fish need a slow reel-in. Keep the line from snapping instead of holding the button down.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.

Omnipedia
Coral Zone · Paracanthurus hepatus
The regal tang will reach its bright yellow tail into intricate coral branches and use the branches as leverage to anchor itself.
When an intruder threatens to drag it out of the coral, it will "play dead" by tilting to one side while still hooked onto the coral.
This behavior has earned it the odd nickname "hanging fish."
