orange stripe bristletooth tang - ID Confirmation

[elFloyd]

Picked up a new tang... LFS had it listed as an Orange Stripe Bristletooth Tang, but a Google image search doesn't match his appearance. The white tail leads me to believe he is something else.

What say you?

My thoughts too. Just looking for confirmation.

Anyone else?

Those are pricey. Definitely looks like a white tail bristle tooth. What did you pay for it?

I'm curious to know this as well, I think you may have gotten a steal.. Liveaquaria only has the "Orange Stripe Bristletooth Tang" for 30-60$. White Tail Bristletooth Tangs usually go for $200+ depending on where you get it.

Looks like you got a good deal elFloyd!

Paid $59.99... but I gotta do the right thing and talk to the LFS owner.

They sold it as what they bought it as. It's their wholesaler or distributor that missed out or it could have been misidentified through the whole chain of custody. I wouldn't sweat it.

True, but wouldn't a well knowledgeable LFS change the price and label once they realized what it was. That would even be more profit for the LFS.
