Does anybody know what type of tang this is? I can't find a real close match from pics on google.

Pics a little dark in blue but I believe a blackspot surgeon or pulani tang

Thanks for the the input! It was labeled as a dussumeiri tang is the pulani just another name for that? The pictures online seem to look the same for either name. Not totally convinced it's a dussemeri but it is hard to tell alot of these tangs apart as juveniles and they can often get mislabeled, this one's about 5-6 inches (sorry about the photos not being the greatest)

Not even close to dussomieri as i have one. Not sold on Pulani due to lighting

Is it possibly Acanthurus blochii?
Acanthurus bariene is possible but it looks too dark IMO.
