Id this tang please

[xiggie]

I'm confused ... Lots of pictures of look a like fish .. Can't take a picture of my own fish but here's a pic of almost the same ...

Could be a

Powder brown

Powder black

Or even a hybrid of an Achilles ..

Note it does not have the white cheek

Found this site showing its a hybrid .. http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/tangsurgeonfishprofiles/p/prachillehydrid.htm

As per normal this fish has ich now .. Hope it survives !! My yellow and clown survived ich .. So i sure damn hope this one survive ..!! It's just so nice to have a blue , yellow and black tang pecking on the rocks

I'm voting Achilles gold rim tang. Very nice catch.

Different is the tail color. Red or yellow. Red is achillies hydrid Yellow is the normal powder black

[I love angel]

Powder black

the pic is hybrid AT ... powder brown from philippines or manado juv also orange tail but when grow bigger become yellow tail & the different is AT scissor tail but powder brown flat tail ... so check out your fish tail shape ...

Hybrid Achilles Tang,nice find!

[xiggie]

Hmmmm .... It could be a hybrid achilles. Orange tail and no white cheeks .. But it's not as black as in the picture ... Maybe just a normal power black , but how much would a hybrid Achilles cost and how much will a powder black or brown cost ? Not quite sure about fish and coral pricing now ..
