It is an acanthurus pyroferus - Pacific mimc tang. Widespread throughout the indo-west pacific. Totally cool. When it was younger it probably looked like the fish behind it. They mimic the true or false lemonpeel, or vrolikii dwarf angel. There is another mimic tang that looks like an eiblii angel as juvenile but grows up to be rather drab. You got the good looking one.
