Tang ID: Regular Scopas or Black Tang Hybrid?

[CoralsAddiction]

Is this is a regular Scopas or a black tang hybrid? It's a fairly small size in case it matters for juvenile coloration of either one. Thanks.

Thanks. I had never seen a black Scopas Tang like that before. usually they are pretty brownish looking. Thus I thought may be it was the Black/Scopas hybrid. This particular store is known to mislabel their fish. For example they are currently selling an Indian Ocean Yellow Belly Regal Angel for $80, while most other stores sell them for $120+.

Probably a hybrid of some sort. If the scopus is always that "black" then it's a hybrid.
