Thanks for the help guys... it doesn't look like that pic above... it's got a body somewhat similar to a kole tang, but a bit sleeker and less vertical height from dorsal/caudal. The eye has a circumferential purple hue rather than the classic golden/yellow eye of koles... this one was in his display tank and not for sale.. he has two remotely similar looking ones in the back, but nowhere near as nice looking.. it's a more subtle beauty, not so much flashy and colorful.

Wow, you actually own one of those things? That's wicked. What's it worth? I've never heard of them in Canada.

Actually, I looked on that webtv link courtesy of TeeVee and it looked somewhat like the blue-spot, Ctenochaetus binotatus, without the yellow tail in pic #1, but not as dark as that, and not as light as pic #2.

Teevee,

It's a mustard tang not the gem. It's gone to Newfoundland, so would be fairly pricey compared to our coast.

Yup I know, but they're still pricey are they not? Up there with Z. rostratum?

Not quite as high as Z. rostratum, but still $$$ in relative terms.

It's gone to Nfld? I just came from being there 4 yrs! GRrrrrrrr..

LoL

JT were you at... is it Memorial? in St Johns?

U got it. MUN Med.

Nice. Does that make you a doctor or are you a resident now?
