I found a pic of this tang on RC... I have been searching for an ID but haven't been able to find it. Does anyone know what it is?

thanks albert! I was thinking that might be what it is but wasn't able to find any decent pics of one on the internet. They are gorgeous!

They are just stunning fish, and I too would love to have one.

Yes, very nice fish. There is one in the Display tank at the LFS here in town. It changes its color from dark to light all the time. Also the dark black color seems to develop at a more adult age. The younger ones seem to stay lighter in color.
