acanthurus4lyfe
Ocean Engineer
so as usual i went to my lfs and they had a really small tang that i figured was marked incorrectly (just so i could go home and do some research aka. look at pics of fish). i clearly like Acanthurus species.... though i wish i could get rid of the 4lyfe part....
Background: LFS ordered it from Quality marine as a palani tang.
http://www.qualitymarine.com/Products/Fish/Wild/Tangs/Acanthurus-xanthopterus/Xanthopterus this is a wrong ID (Quality....??)
My guesses
Acanthurus Mata im thinking
A. xanthopterus no yellow fin....
A. nigricaudus
dussemeri/blochii...those look alikes
A. nigroris
so here it is..
