I am running into the same problem as you. So far I haven't really found an image on the web that really looks like my fish. I based my purchase on http://www.themarinecenter.com/tangatlanticblue.htm. I am fairly confident that what I have is in fact simply an animal halfway between being a juvenile and an adult. He reminds me of a cross between a purple tang and a sailfin tang. He has fine horizontal stripes, and depending on his mood, large vertical stripes. The edges of his fins are a really bright blue, while the rest of his body is almost a light indigo. His eyes are yellow. He has a shorter snout than a Zebrasoma sp. and of course not as much of a sailfin.
I do expect him to outgrow the tank, but then again, almost any tang would. When that time comes, I'll take him out.
