Hard to tell from the video, a close up pic would be better.

It's Acanthurus maculiceps
Or not Maybe bahianus, even blochii...

 

[SDguy]

Definitely going to need a still photo...

Looks like my Bariane Tang..

To me, this looks like a Fowleri Tang, I'm not 100% sure that it is, but it's definitely the first thing that comes to mind and upon googling one and comparing they look very similar.

According to tankmates as rock beauty and harlequim bass it should be atlantic Acanthurus bahianus

That doesn't mean anything at all, You don't know what fish are thrown together at a LFS and where they all came from. Without a nice closeup pic it will be a bunch of guess and that's about it

The white band near the tail makes me think you are probably right.

But in fowleri the white band doesn't reach the scalpel and there is a gap between the white tailband and the spike.
In the video it looks like the white band does reach the scalpel.
But apparently this is a juvie, and the colors have started to change... I can't wait to see a still picture!!
