ID My New Mystery Tang

Okay...I added this Tang to my 240g and it darkened up. Really strange how quickly too. Maybe the smaller tank just had it constantly stressed and pale? Anyways, it is very timid and these are the best shots I could get. It is kinda of a reddish brown with just a hint (barely) of yellow on the dorsal fin. No blue or yellow around the eyes. Any new ideas?

Pardon the algae in the one shot. The tank was fallow almost three months and I kept a lot of the algae figuring the new inhabitants would graze on it. :)
 
I have one just like it and I believe they call it a striated tang.
It looks like that could be it. Now the big question...LiveAquaria says these are aggressive towards other Tangs and may be harassed by their own species. I plan to have other Tangs, so is this a bad choice as the 1st? They get big, so it's not going in my 60g.
