Show off your Tangs

[OrionN]

Any idea what mine could be? They said Lieutenant Tang but I don’t see it.

What is the size of this fish? Any clear lines on the fins and/or body.
Agree with @vetteguy53081 that it could be a baby Yellowfin tang

I’d say he’s probably 3-4in across.
The only clear “lines” I can see is a dark line on the very top and bottom of his dorsal fins. Here are the best pictures I can get of it:
Thoughts?

My guy was looking good tonight.

Thanks! He’s a Dussumeri tang (East African in origin).

Hard to say at that size could be a xanthopterus (yellow fin), bariene, duss (unlikely). Your first pic made me think of Leucocheilus based on the mouth (again unlikely). Doubtful it’s a mata… it’ll be cool to see what he is as he grows.

How about this tiny guy? Ordered as a 3-4" fish, received a 3/4" fish... Acanthurus bahianus

Looks very similar to mine that I posted not too long ago. Minus the blue bottom fins

Can you still get a Kole tang?
I saw one at a pet store, but they just called it a bristle tooth?

My 2.5 inches Blonde Naso is doing great in my DT. The residents tangs bother him a bit but he is fast, just evade quickly. He is out in the open water all the time, and as the pictures below show, with very full stomach all the time. He should grow very fast and soon become the largest tang in the tank.

My new Desjardini, about 3 inches.

I got this tang as. Desjardini, but the more I look, the more I am convinced that he is a hybrid which is very rare.
What do you guys and gals think? These pictures with my iPhone just now.

He’s beautiful! Does look like he could be a hybrid. Do you think with yellow?

Recently added this goldrim to the tang gang. Settled right in, seems like he buddies up with the chocolate tang. Surprisingly, zero aggression from the sohal tang and the clown tang. Can't wait for him to get as fat as the rest of the tangs in here.

Current list of tangs in my 240 gallon:
Vlamingii Tang (Naso vlamingii)
Chocolate Tang (Acanthurus pyroferus)
Sohal Tang (Acanthurus sohal)
Clown Tang (Acanthurus lineatus)
Goldrim Tang (Acanthurus nigricans)
Yellow Belly Hippo Tang (Paracanthus hepatus)

Picture of my baby Blonde Naso 2.5 inches.

I think this baby Sailfin is worthy of show off. Grow like crazy. Several weeks and he grew from pushing 2.5 to 3.5 inches.

Blonde Naso on the War Path. He is not Jawing like previous picture. ( com pair the mouth)

Hey guys, LFS sold this to me as orange-striped bristle tooth tang for $69. I am thinking he was wrong. It looks like a White tail bristle tooth which is more expensive. Can I have an ID? Sorry for the pic, he’s very active, it’s hard to get a decent pic.
