Tang ID?

[Steph72]

I got this little guy about two months ago from a local pet shop that I won’t name. He was gasping and laying on the bottom of the tank getting ready to die. After a long ordeal of antibiotics and prazi I’m happy to say he’s now in great health! Only problem is I have no idea what kind of tang he is! Lol

Does anyone recognize what he is? The store had him listed as a “small tang”....not much help there. He’s definitely got a lot of sass for such a young fish! Haha

Do all the juveniles have yellow coloration? I’d love it if he’s an Atlantic Blue since that’s a fish that’s on my wish list! His color only ranges from pale blueish grey to dark grey (when he’s upset)

Yes, all juvenile Atlantic blues are yellow.

Do you have a pic of it in your tank, with a couple more months of maturation?
