Help identifying Tang

[Martinsp]

Hi, I'm new to the hobby.
I purchased a Juvenile Tang that I liked, at an aquarium shop, and the guy there told me it is a Thompson tang, I looked it up and it looks nothing like my fish.
I have a couple of pics I took today, he changes colors drastically. both pics are of the same fish a few minutes apart.
can somebody, help identify the species?

Thanks in advance
Martin

Looks like a juvenile Vlamingii Tang.

I was going to guess Blonde Naso Tang, but I am definitely not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, it just seems similar to one I saw in my LFS.

Definitely reminds me of a naso as well.

I agree that it look like one of the Naso sp tangs.

All tangs mentioned above are in that genus, btw.

Yep. Exactly!
He's gorgeous!! You'll love him!
How big is your tank, Martin?

Some updated pics were posted on another board.

The consensus there was N. lituratus. We'll see if he updates us here.

Don't see any spots like a Vlamingii Tang would have, Looks like a Naso to me.

To me it looks like a juvenile naso unicornis.

By naso I mean common naso :spin2:

Haha I guess you could argue they are all common....
