That would be a blue hippo tang. Swf.com sells them. They need a large tank though. What size is the tank that you want to put the tang in?

a six foot long tank, minimum.
It is a very delicate fish that needs a lot of care.
IMO, one of the worst things to happen to saltwater fish was that movie...I'm sorry but I think it is true. So many people want to have a "nemo" tank and it doesn't matter that the fish may be difficult to keep. When it was "big" and I worked at an LFS, it was remarkable. They wanted those fish in a tank that day. Not a lot of people think about explaining to their kids when Dory or Nemo is dead the next morning
Its been a long time since I've discussed this topic though
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read a lot about this fish and caring for it. People will be happy to help!

Poor person was probably just looking for a fish ID and is now getting a lecture
I have both Nemo and Dory in my tank, but now it's my turn
I think it is ironic that people want to put Nemo or Dory in their tanks since the whole point of the movie is freeing the fish from a fish tank. Did everyone miss that all the fish swam around and dreamed of being free one day! I actually worry that when my son gets old enough to see the movie, he might ask me to set them free! I can only hope that my son is that smart.
You can get a very small blue hippo depending on the size of your tank. My tank is 90 gallons and I've had him for almost a year. He is doing great. They are prone to ick, so make sure you quaranteen. If not you will probably regret it (speaking from experience here).

I too used to work at a LFS and i would try to talk people into getting a Fiji blue devil damsel as Dory. Much cheaper and easier to take care of. These fish are hearty and come with an attitude, but nemo (false percula) can handle it.
Blue hippos are ich magnets and get large and loose there brilliant blue once they are older.
here is the fiji blue devil damsel, they call them half blue damsels here:
