Hiya I am new to the forum and new to Saltwater Aquariums (Freshwater not so much), but more to the point I need help.

I'm working on a poster for a 16,000 gallon Saltwater Aquarium that I work around and with Depending on who my boss is that day.

Most of the fish were easy to look up and name based off published books, But I have two I just can't seem to find the right name. I'm pretty sure they are from the same Family since they both show up with either name I put into Google that I was told they might be.

I need specific names because I need to put Scientific Name too!

Thank you!

I've looked around some... and The pic of another user had posted a pic of two different Tangs of the same family:

One of the Lopezi Tangs that they put has a similar eye pattern to the one I photographed.


The other one I know is a Juvenile and is suppose to grow a horn. I'm pretty sure its starting to form with the bump on his forehead.
