I picked up a Tang on Boxing day. It does have the body of a bristletooth. It is Yellow with white spots on it's head and bluelips. Any idea what kind this might be? I will try and remember to bring my camera to work tomorrow to take a picture.

I have a maculiceps tang. This ones coloration is different. The maculiceps has a white ban on the tail as well this one doesn't.
