nice purchase brian....saw that tang everytime we went in there. beautiful fish will fit in nicely with your tank!!! and wow what a tank!!!
 
Amazing is'nt he? M&K a scopus is sometimes referred to as the poor man's black tang.{no offense};)
The black is striking solid black with a blue sheen almost, and has a white dot. Quite a fish, and yes...more rare.
 
thanks for the comments everyone, K&t yeah Marcye told me i couldnt come back into the store if i didnt buy it. So i had no choice!

just curious whats the difference between this and a scopas . just more rare ? looks similar to my scopas

A few more differences.

The size of the nose. A black tang has a VERY long snout compaired to all other zebrasoma tangs.

A scopas is a light brown as a baby and develops black as it ages, a full grown scopas can be almost all black (but that nose is a dead giveaway that its not a black) Where a black tang will be all black from tiny to adult.
