| Yoda Poohbah~   | new addition i couldnt resist, i even thought id have to call the tang police on myself...but he is so pretty and the colors similar to my scopas. he is a Acanthurus chronixis, one of the mimic tangs. i knew i wouldnt have issues with the scopas due to diff genus, but went to google to find out about him. well the best i could find was that it s a mimic of C. Vrolikii. not even a picture,,,the showed the Vroliki angel and said,,,looks similar to this,,,lol. 3 diif folks i talked to couldnt place him and so i figured i got a deal. now,,,do i cuff myself?

| Contributing Member   | It looks like Acanthurus pyroferus to me. A. pyroferus also mimics C vrolikii. I imagine this is where you found some of your info anyway... http://www.wetwebmedia.com/acanthurTngs.htm |

| Manta Ray  | Gorgeous fish Wit.....Also a nice alternative to the not necessarily reef safe C. vroliki. I've always liked those though. Nick
