There are a few tangs rare in the industry that don't demand a fat wallet... one of them that I have is my bristletooth tomini tang pictured here. He keeps this color throughout adulthood... the closely related chevron will change color when older to and almost black background but still with nice patterning.
Black tangs are in the Zebrasoma genus and therfore would be fine in your 100 gallon. I love and recommend this guy too. I can get them locally for $125, but are usually more in the $200 to $300 range... pricey but not as bad as some others...
If you have some bank to drop and want a truly rare tang shoot for the gem tang at around $1000 (another Zebrasoma... very rare out of Africa) or the white aberrant of the Hawaiian yellow tang at around $500
I'd stay away from the Sohal in any size tank... look at 64Ivy's 500 gallon (former -- TOTM) where he has a huge sohal named Attila that commands every inch of his 500 gallon...

There are many aberrant colorations that come in to some dealers, and they are yours for a price... here's another example...
