I’m looking to buy a Achilles tang, but the one I saw the orange spot tear drop is kinda small, be the fish is around 5”, could it be that the fish is still a juvenile? And the orange spot will get big over time?

It’ll grow with age, if they were the large size as a juvenile, it would look a bit off as they’d be almost totally orange!

thank you, I’m trying to enjoy and keep them for a long time, don’t want one that’s already too mature
