[thepollock]

hes purple with yellow on the top and side fins and also has blue lines on the side that color up some times.

Body shape looks like a Chevron tang, but without the orange. Could be a mix of blue tang and chevron.

It is an Atlantic Blue. They (SF) use to have a horrible mis-labeling problem.

Seen videos of how they reproduce in the wild. There is a huge number of both males and females that shoot there love juices into a big cloud, then the embryos float randomly along the planktonic seas. Sometimes a stray tang of another species get involved in the spawning and fertilized one of the eggs and you probably got a slight hybrid of an Atlantic Blue or Kole or etc. At any rate its cool so enjoy!

Look like this one on blue zoo?

shows the purple coloration and orange spots. Could be a Striped Bristletooth Tang aka Striated Surgeonfish, Orange Lined Tang. Could be a hybrid of this and something else.
