Lets get the surgeonfish before we move on to the next, I am thinking Acanthurus chirurgus...

good guess, it's not atlantic ocean tho. This one is found in indo-pacific.

Acanthurus nigricauda, never would have guessed if you hadn't posted the adult photo. Don't think I ever saw one that small... This is more like the juveniles I see:

You are correct, I thought it would be a small challenge given we've resorted to bait fish and hybrids ... why not juvi's too lol ..

We originally bought this fish because me my fish guru friend had no idea what what it was. Infact it was labeled as an ASST. Tang at a LFS here ... and they had no idea.

We bought that little guy when it was about 2 - 2.5 inches from mouth to tip of tail and it was somewhat greyish with almost no colors on the fins. It was labeled as an Assorted Tang. Now it's about 3-3.5 inches and eats everything I throw in from frozen to pellets to flakes to all the algae in the tank. Good grazer.

I think it's the only way i can justify us buying a grey fish ...

My turn I guess, here we go then:

 

[itachi]

Canthigaster solandri

 

[joetbs]

Canthigaster supramacula

 

[ShrimpChipGal]

Canthigaster bennetti

 

[ShrimpChipGal]

Canthigaster supramacula

You are probably right, joetbs. It looks almost identical to the one on fishbase. http://www.fishbase.org.cn/Photos/PicturesSummary.php?ID=61203&what=species

 

[Luiz Rocha]

Canthigaster supramacula

Bingo!
