I hope your right Leah that would be amazing!!! I guess I will have to wait and find out. Here is what live aquaria has to say about it.

The Black Spot Tang, also known as the Black Spot Surgeonfish, is a hard-to-find gem for advanced aquarists. While juveniles may not feature standout coloration, with maturity and proper care, this fish develops beautiful orange accent markings against deep blues, blacks, and browns.

I payed like $25.00 for him so if he turned out to be a Black spot that would be a ridiculous find!

He is gorgeous and very rolly polly too! Fantastic deal, did you post a picture of him before?

I have a Bariene Tang and its colors are definitely not the same as yours. Unless that is how they look when juvenile. I remember seeing that tang when I was at your place. Very nice tang regardless of what species it is.

Is it a Acanthurus Bariene?

In the last 2 months hes started developing blue/ yellow lines on his dorsal and ventral fins. Here's a few more photos, xtreme did you get yours as a juvi or an adult?

Possibly Ringtail tang--acanthurus blochii. Beautiful fish whatever he is. I think a naso tang would be a great tankmate for him. They have great personality too; very interactive i find.

It's looks like it could be an Atlantic blue tang from the Caribbean, it may be in the transition from juvenile to adult. Does it look like it's got horizontal lines forming on the body?

I would have to go with a Bariene Tangs, aka Blackspot or Eye-Spot Tangs.
