I think that is a mata tang. Acanthurus mata.

Doesn't quite look my Acanthurus mata (Elongate tang).
Looks like it could be a Acanthurus blochii or Acanthurus dussumieri.
Google image search these species and see if one of them is your fish.

Acanthurus xanthopterus for sure, I had one for about 4 months and in that span it easily grew 3 inches. Fast growing and they get big but man are they full of personality.
