Is this a veliferum? I assume so because of the yellow tail, but Google seems to have chunks of conflicting info. Thanks for looking!

This is a Desjardini which is characterised by the yellow striping along the body.
 
So then is this a veliferum?
Agree on Desjardini and very fast growing as with mine. Not a veliferum but Zebrasoma desjardini
Veliferum would be standard sailfin tang
 
The color differences between the two is what took me by surprise and made me start questioning. So they are both desjardinii then. I guess I should take into account one is 2.5" and the other is 9". Haha
