I think the common name is Pencil-Streaked Rabbitfish or Barred Spinefoot or Twin-Striped Rabbitfish.
Whoo Hooo I am in the lead. So what type of frags do I get for being so witty and inspiring.

Nicky - I do NOT know fish well. Im focussed more on invertebrates. Banggai I do know fairly well because I'm concerned about their survival as a species.
and yes... I name all of my fish except for the baby Banggai that are going to leave in a few months.
My suggestion on your fish -
1 - Remove either the Scooter or the Mandarin
2 - Remove the Hippo
3 - Get another Chromis
4 - Add a pair of tank bred Banggai
5 - Add a smaller Tang like a Yellow, Purple, or Kole.
reasoning -
1 - They may be doing fine as juveniles. They are going to grow up and there just won't be enough food for both of them once they mature.
2 - The Hippo will also mature and your tank just won't keep a Hippo healthy for even a fraction of its lifespan.
3 - 3 Chromis do MUCH better than 2.
4 - I like Banggai
and that was the original question5 - your tank will support a smaller Tang.
