one of my dads friends was getting rid of his fish - so I took them off his hand. However, there is just one fish I'm not sure about. Off hand I thought it was a Yellow Tang but now in comparing pictures - it doesnt look like it.
Can anyone help!!???



sorry they arent the clearest.. but anything will help :D

Impersonator Tang??? Looks like to me.
Look it up and see if that comes close to what you are seeing.

I agree, could be a Mimic tang, Acanthurus pyroferus.
Or a juvie orangeshoulder.
Or could be one of the yellow dwarf angle species.
How big and do you know how old it is?
A better pic would help.

I dont thinks its a lemon peel because it doesnt have the blue and white markings that these typically have around the eyes. Looks like a yellow pygmy angel. I have one, looks just like it. Nice fish, great personality. Just an FYI you cannot have more than one angel fish in a tank.
