I think that is a mata tang. Acanthurus mata.

Doesn't quite look my Acanthurus mata (Elongate tang).

Looks like it could be a Acanthurus blochii or Acanthurus dussumieri.

Google image search these species and see if one of them is your fish.

thanks for the info ,was thinking of buying one but after reading info my tank is way to small all 3 types listed get over 18 inches

Fuzzy photo but it looks like Acanthurus xanthopterus.

Acanthurus xanthopterus for sure, I had one for about 4 months and in that span it easily grew 3 inches. Fast growing and they get big but man are they full of personality.
