ID this fish please

I bought this fish and was sold under the name yellow tang. I know its not a regular yellow tang cause its body and fins are different. Any help is appreciated :neutral:

Looks like a Lemonpeel angelfish to me.

Look like a Lemon peel to me sorta. It isn't a yellow tang for sure.

Could be a Juvenile Mimic lemon peel tang.

Does it have a white spot at the base of his tail. That will tell you if it is a tang or not.

I concur after looking at both. His picture has more of the tang facial features than an angelfish. I'd say a Juvi Mimic Lemonpeel Tang for sure.

There is another tang that is yellow when it is a Juvi, but I can't think of it.

Orange Shoulder is yellow when a juvi but turns grey. Blue Caribbean tang is also yellow when a juvenile but turns blue

100% mimic tang. Good choice for a tank, overall. Doesn't get huge, and still pretty attractive as an adult.

Juvenile Yellow Mimic tang. They are beautiful fish when they mature!

Also, to note, mimic tangs have a VERY tiny blade if at all. I never found the blade on mine but could see a tiny area where they could have been retracted.
