This acanthurus species tang will grow to 8 inches.
It is a desirable tang to keep provided that you meet the optimum conditions which includes a tank 6 feet in length.
Alll tangs are swimmers and need the swimming room length that larger tanks provide.

Saw hundreds in Hawaii diving, and none were bigger than 8". They are beautiful. Never noticed them until I went diving. In some pics they look brown, but every one I saw was a nice purple colour.
