For some reason the link didn't work for me but after googling it and seeing pictures of "Acanthurus chirurgus" .. I would agree that it does look like that's what it could be.
Very pretty fish, I don't think I've ever seen one before. Hope he fattens up and does well!

The tail in the link from fishbase isn't quite right though, hence my fence sitting. Some of the pictures show a yellow or white ring on the tail, which I'm about 90% sure the fish doesn't have.
He is going to give the fish 24 more hours and then decide what to do with it. I may put up a post on his behalf tomorrow if he feels the fish's interests are best served elsewhere.

That is a nice fish. If for some reason he wants to sell it or if he needs a place to keep it to get it healthy.....Im interested.
ok...I agree I think it is a doctorfish and it can get up to 15" long. so on that note...he will get to big for the tank I have now. some info http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=27 Last edited by BC564; 12-17-2007 at 11:38 PM.

Cool! Thanks for the firm ID on it. Are they a common fish? I think this is the first one I have ever seen!
