They told me it’s a yellow tang I bought 3 months ago the size of my thumbnail
But it don’t look like one
Any help

Can you get a picture without all the coraline in front of it? It doesn't look like a yellow tang to me. Kinda looks like a yellow angelfish.

Might be a mimic tang. But hard to tell

Agree, it's a yellow Mimic Tang AKA Chocolate Tang

 

[nereefpat]

I agree with a mimic tang. Acanthurus pyroferus, I believe.

It is a tang and it is currently yellow... so yes it is a "yellow" tang. The fish store wasn't wrong

Nice fish, I love mine and they get even cooler looking once they become adults. Nice pickup!

Yea... mimic tang. It is yellow... now.... it won’t be when it grows up though. They end up brown and they’re very beautiful!

Mine is mid change now, definitely a mimic.

That's what it wants you to believe

If it have a tail spike then it is a Mimic tang. If it have a gill spike then it is a angel fish. Picture not detail enough.

 

[eatbreakfast]

It has a tangs mouth, not an angel.
