Default Fish ID Please

Can someone ID this fish for me please?
I know it is close to Kole Tang and the closest name I can get is "spotted yellow eye tang". I just want to learn more about him. Thanks

Ctenochaetus truncatus is the Indian Ocean variety, which has the spots instead of the stripes of the Pacific variety (C. strigosus - Yelloweye Tang). I don't think it really matters though, they're basically the same fish.

+1 to Mandosh. He is just an Indian ocean variety or the Yellow Eyed Kole Tang. Awesome fish.
