I took this picture off a video on the net (Jason Fox) is it just a normal sailfin rang as it looks awesome.
Mine does not have marking like this.

Two types of SailfinTangs. That picture is the Desjardini Sailfin Tang. The normal Sailfin Tang is perhaps the one you have.

That picture is the Desjardini Sailfin Tang.

No it isn't. It's Z. veliferum.

Ahh. Thanks for the correction.

So what's the name of it and are these a more expensive fish or harder to come by?

There are two species of sailfin tangs:
1. Zebrasoma veliferum - Philippine sailfin - the one pictured in post #1
2. Z. desjardinii - red sea sailfin - the one in post #6
