Re: Id My Tang

I'm guessing either a yellow mimic tang:
Yellow Mimic Tang (Mimic Lemon Peel Tang) - Acanthurus pyroferus

or a juvenile Atlantic blue tang:
Atlantic Blue Juvenile (Yellow Juvenile Coloration) Tang - Acanthurus coeruleus

He's so cute.

I just added a acanthurus pyroferus, but it is mimicing a half black angel instead of the lemon peel angel. Mines about the same size as your little tang.

Re: Id My Tang

great fish. They grow to be MONSTERS. The books say about 10 inches, but in the tank at Caesars Palace in Vegas, they are HUGE. I love them.
