it looks exactly as a carribean yellow tang...very nice...kimoy your tank looks awsome, can you take a full shot??..your polyps are awsome!!!, very colorfull tank..

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

thanks Biff...i found out that it is a juvie atlantic blue. it was sold as a hybrid blue tang, but i still got it cheap for $30.
will try to snap a new FTS soon.

Nice fish, but.... are the big eyes normal???

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.:)

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.
