I just recently when to the LFS and bought a fish labeled as a yellow eyed kole tang it is about the size of a quarter. I put it in my 75 gallon mixed reef and it has been doing very well eating all the algea. Now i thought that the colors on the fish were washed out because it had been eatting brine shrimp for the last month in a tank with no algea in it. As it got health it turned blue and yellow like this

Now i think this fish is a striped bristletooth and my brother says it is a juvinile yellow eyed kole tang and will turn its regular colors in a year or so. I want to know you opinion. What do you guys think. And if someone does have a adult striped bristletooth, are they as good looking as the kole?

Kinda looks like a clown tang to me. I forget the latin name and I am too busy goofing off right now to go look it up in my fish book. But you should be able to find it under Tangs.

This is definatly related to the kole what I'm not sure of is what it will look like as an adult. Or if it is a kole and will change into their more famous color form.

Has anyone had a small kole tang before?? did it look like this??
