Kole tang look alike?
I need help id'ing a tang i got for my new 180. It looks like a kole tang, brown with dots down its side, but it doesn't have the yellow around the eyes, and it has a yellow fin. The lady at petco (i know, but there isn't much of an option unless i want to drive an hour one way) couldn't figure out what it was, so she sold it to me as a kole tang. I don't have any pictures becuase he is hiding in my rockwork and won't come out.

Two Spot Bristle Tooth Tang
Kole Tangs are great fish. I purchased a Red Tail Bristle Tooth Tang and it turned out to be something else it lost its red tail and was al lthe same color , still a good fish. I think your is a Two Spot Bristle tooth Tang.Look up Bristle Tooth Tangs on Google , You will be amazed at the selection. Happy Reefing!!!!

I'm guessing its a striped bristletooth. They are commonly sold as unknown tang sp.
