Those photos are incredible. The opportunity to see tangs in their natural environment would be a dream come true for me. The experience must be truly breathtaking.

Re: identifying the sex of my fish

Your Red Forest Jewel does appear to be under stress. Adding a background to its tank might make it feel more secure, I noticed you don't seem to have one in place.
