Acanthurus pyroferus (Mimic Tang)

[RDtrack]

Just picked up an all yellow juv. mimic tang (Acanthurus pyroferus). I know there also a lemonpeel mimic tang too. I was wondering if anyone has pictures of the two different adults? Or knows a web address that shows the difference.


I know there is a difference between the adult Eiblii Mimic Tang (Indian Ocean)and the yellow ones.

Thanks

All Acanthurus pyroferus look basically the same as adults no matter the color variation of the differently colored juveniles. There is a lot of color variation in adults and I have seen muddy yellow ones to very dark brown variants to ones with a green tint to them.
