Fish ID Please
 
Can someone ID this fish for me please?
I know it is close to Kole Tang and the closest name I can get is "spotted yellow eye tang". I just want to learn more about him. Thanks

Common name is yellow eye tang. Love these fish!

Ctenochaetus truncatus is the Indian Ocean variety, which has the spots instead of the stripes of the Pacific variety (C. strigosus - Yelloweye Tang). I don't think it really matters though, they're basically the same fish.

+1 to Mandosh. He is just an Indian ocean variety or the Yellow Eyed Kole Tang. Awesome fish.
