The one you saw at CF, does it have blue tint on the nose to head area with distinctive stripe patterns on the body that looks like a Brown Scopas Tang? If yes, I've saw that too.

Somehow I feel that pcs is a cross bred between a Black Tang and Brown Tang. Cuz a pure Black Tang is suppose to be "jet-black" and as it grows bigger/older, it'll developed a bluish tint on the head area and also along the underneath of it's high-fins. I do come across write-out on Black Tang being able to cross bred with Brown Tang in the wild as the area of this 2 type of tangs does overlap in certain geographical locations.
