Weird Tang at LFS

[Mflores888]

It does have that body shape, but without being able to use color to ID I wouldn’t have a clue how to tell exactly what species it is.

Mimi was definitely the first thing I thought about but either way its way out of my budget and tank size

Knowing my luck if I bought it, it would be a mimic tang and convert to its normal adult coloration.

Went to the store and I saw this Tang in the shop. Wasn't able to ask what it was but looks pretty cool. I'm guessing its similar to the blue face koi tangs but different?

Anyone got an ID on it?

Abberant striatus bristletooth tang.

They’re beautiful… but they eventually go totally black. My LFS had the same thing, an Abberant striatus that came in all white and black (Looked like a cow) as a juvenile then it aged and went all black/deep brown.

Am I the only one that doesn't like that look at all?? To me it just looks diseased :-(

I don’t mind it because I have seen the ugly side of adult striatus but definitely agree that Aberrant tangs look bad.

With my luck, it would break out with ich the day after I bought it.

You aren't alone. I like that it's Different. I dislike what it Actually looks like.

Agreed, and I think it also has Alopecia !
