Well, I wonder then if I should try and find a home for it. So far my Sailfin has been dominant. Having 2 in a 150 gallon may not be the best use of my space and my sailfin is much prettier. Decisions, decisions....

They stay fairly small so I wouldn't worry to much about it until there are sings of aggression. I find sailfins to be the less aggressive of the tang, IMO.

Stay clear..... This Bear bits off limbs!!
My Scopas looks nothing like this but I guess things in the animal kingdom don't always play by the rules.

My feelings exactly, body shape doesn't seem right.

The other tangs mentioned , striated or kole , are way different in colouring when I looked them up.

I will see if I have another picture in my camera that is better. If not I will be home in a week to try again.

Good to know. I will keep an eye on it. The description I read said they were Semi-aggressive, so I wasn't sure if it was too much for my tank.

I don't have another good picture in my camera, but with the searching, I have been doing based on the suggestions you all have given me, I believe it is a scopas tang. :-)
