Looks like an Acanthurus Nigricauda. Let's see what others say.

Can you take a picture with only white lights on?

I agree on it being an Acanthurus though.

Looks just like my dussomieri tang when it was young

Pale Lipped surgeonfish. I had the same ID a while back. I bought it as a Fowleri and looks like yours.
