Any idea what mine could be? They said Lieutenant Tang but I don’t see it.

What is the size of this fish? Any clear lines on the fins and/or body.
Agree with @vetteguy53081 that it could be a baby Yellowfin tang

I’d say he’s probably 3-4in across.
The only clear “lines” I can see is a dark line on the very top and bottom of his dorsal fins. Here are the best pictures I can get of it:
Thoughts?

Thanks! He’s a Dussumeri tang (East African in origin).

Hard to say at that size could be a xanthopterus (yellow fin), bariene, duss (unlikely). Your first pic made me think of Leucocheilus based on the mouth (again unlikely). Doubtful it’s a mata… it’ll be cool to see what he is as he grows.
