Please identify this fish

I saw this fish at a local pet store and I really want to know what is the correct name for it. For what I was told and googled is that its a yellow fin tang. Anyone know another name or where I can get this fish from?

Ctenochaetus tominiensis, Tomini Tang

As mflamb mentioned tomini. Great fish!!! Great pickup

Also called the flame fin tomini tang. Stays pretty small for a tang, I'd say minimum 75g tank.

they're relatively common, you can ask the LFS to order one for you. I'd expect to pay $40-$50 for a small one. One of the better tangs for smaller setups, but I'd also say a minimum of 75 gallons (and only that small if it's the only larger fish).

Well, I guess I am gonna have to upgrade to a bigger tank then cuz I want that fish. Does it get along with other tangs okay?

It will be aggressive towards other fish in the bristletooth family and possibly some other tang species. Good luck.

i have a tomini and yellow tang together, and they are model citizens along w/my tomato clown, mandarin, flame hawkfish, cb angel and an eibli hybrid angel in a 110 gallon tank. tomini is probably my favorite fish in the tank. constantly on the move. i would highly reccomend one and i agree that a 75 is a good minimum tank size.
