That's what I thought but I have a vlamingi and it looks different..I will provide a pic. The vlamingi is on top

Its a Naso but not familiar with the family enough for a definite. Maybe a young Naso brevirostris as they are more common.

Do you think it will develop a horn? I'm hoping

I agree with this.

This is a Tomini Tang

This is a Tomini Tang

Absolutly not
100% Naso genus the double caudel blades that you can just make out are a dead giveaway, too small to deterime species from the photo, but likely one that will get a horn and huge. Also not a vlamingi, blonde, or common naso.

The smaller fish is a Naso but the larger one is a Tomini, you can tell the difference by the shape of the heads one has a pointed facial structure while the other has a more rounded facial structure. Sorry about that didn't know which one we were referring to.

This is a tomini. There is no tomiini in the op's pics. Note the pointed snout.
