From the shape of its mouth, it's a tang, not an (lemonpeel) angel. A lot of juv. tangs can mimic an angel. Hard to tell what kind of tang it is until it has its adult color and shape.

I've done some research on mimic tangs and i am pretty convinced now that is a lemon mimic tang.
You guys never disappoint! Always great input

Looks like a juvenile chocolate mimic tang to me. Definetly not an angel.
Good luck.

Here is a decent pic that I googled that almost matches your pics.

Thanks for confusing me again reefie. Lol
