Can you help me identify this tang?

[kmarcz1983]

Hello! I am new to reef central and fairly new to saltwater, so hello to all. I originally had a biocube 29 and recently got an amazing trade for a fully setup reef ready 90 gallon, a poor unfortunate soul had to move and downgrade but I definitely lucked out. Long story short it came with what he told me was a naso tang... But I am pretty sure it's not a blonde naso as they have orange lips I thought. Here is a picture if anyone could help me identify this guy. He's currently in my quarantine tank while I finish resetting up the 90 in my house. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

That looks like a Vampire tang to me. Very Nice!

Thanks so much!

They get huge.

Agreed.

That is most certainly not a Vampire / Lieutenant tang. (Which is by far my favorite tang next to achilles)

My bet is on Lopez Unicorn Tang.

A better quality picture would be a BIG help.

Definitely not a vampire.


Slightly blue lips make me think juvenile Naso Vlamingii They need 8-10ft tanks north of 500g to really thrive.

The above picture is most definitely what it looks like!

Sorry all I apologize I was unaware there were more replies and I am still new RC! I thgt it might be a Vlamingii but I was shocked it would be in a 90g tank so dismissed it.
