Identifying tang

[rolyguy7]

I'm trying to identify this guy. It was sold to me as a bariene but I'm not sure if it is. Seems to be missing the black spot bariene's have. Perhaps a juvenile?

Could it be a Dussumieri?

Looks like a small dussumieri tang (Acanthurus dussumieri). One of my favorite tangs :rollface:

Awesome! Can't wait to see him grow and show his adult shape and colors.

For anyone wondering what he looks like now 8 years later

Hadn’t logged in to reef central in a while. Remembered this thread from 8 years ago. Thought it would be cool to post updated pictures of the little guy. Although he’s not so little anymore. Lol he was maybe 3 1/2” inches in the first pics from 8 years ago. He’s about 9-10” inches in length now. Lol
