So I was looking to buy a Lemon Peel Mimic Tang. I know there are a couple other variety's that mimic other species of angels. This had me wondering, how many species of mimic tangs exist? If you have any ideas please post! Also if you own any mimic tangs, it would be cool to see some pictures!

It seem the most common one in the trade is your A. pyroferus. That chocolate one mimics lemon peel angels or half black, depending on location.
There is also A. chronixis, which sounds like that's a separate but very similar species to the one above, often with mistakes in the ID.
A. tristis looks like the eiblii dwarf angel.

I think that's it.
