New Tang ID

Looks like what I got before. If so, you may have acquired one of the largest Tangs there is.

Gosh. Catching it out will be another problem for me d. It always hide under the rocks at the 3.4ft drop off area [emoji33]

Hi
What do U guys think about this tang? Lfs sell it says its Dussumieri. I think mine not dussu. Advice please. Thanks

Definitely not a Duss. No white caudal spine and not enough yellow on the dorsal fin. It looks exactly like the one I got in my original post.
I honestly think vendors don't intentionally cheat you but some of them are just ignorant and refuse to educate themselves about the products they are selling.

Sorry for your bad luck Jason, seems this isn't the first time a vendor has sold a hobbyist the wrong tang instead of a dussemeiri. Eric, is there any way you can paste and copy your build thread here to R2R? I'd love to see it as I'm sure others would as well.

I think I have a build thread some where on socalireef let me look...
