really, a coldwater tang? let's see a pic...

just because it was caught in temperate waters doesn't necessarily mean it is a temperate species as it could very well just be a waif.

I believe this is the famed Polar Tang, which was first discovered by Admiral Nelson some time ago. They are rarely captured and never photographed due to their specially evolved cloaking devices.

It will remain unknown until a picture is provided.

Ah, I checked his gallery.

Looks kinda like a juvi Prionurus species maybe? Just a guess...

thanks for finding that Recty
still the fish has no formal id

Could also be a juvenile Acanthurus Blochii. We get heaps of them in the temperate waters here.

general clang

general clang

clang is klingon and he has a cloak that is why is invisible ..a little late but could not resist.

if its the same as my fish it will be the kiing of the tank in no time very agro little bugger can put fish three times its size in their place and the more i feed it the more agro it got

 

[fisho125]

take note it has at least three to four small blades guess thats the "saw" tail not just one like many tangs

 

[tcmfish]

I'm still pretty confident in my ID...

For sure a Prionurus genus tang... there are only two species in Australia, and I agree with Tim that it is Prionurus microlepidotus...
