The one store I'm looking into shipping from says this is a lavender tang, however, looking at pictures on LA and google, they don't look the same...Anyone know for sure?

Check out the image and description from Coral Imports https://www.coralimports.com/fish/tangs/lavender-tang-acanthurus-nigrofuscus/http://
Looks quite a bit like that one...

They look a bit similar, but the one pictured from the LFS doesn't seem to have the horizontal lines across his body...hmm

Looks like a brown surgeonfish or a lavender tang

If this is the case, I presume he won't get along with a magnificent foxface, since they're both sturgeonfish?

Probably one of the Tangs that change colors as they grow.
