New Indonesian yellow Tang

Hi got this Tang today the store owner told me it was a yellow Indonesian tang just wanted to know if she is right?

Which tang are you talking about? I can see two in the pic; One yellow tang in front, another mimic tang in back.

The front one, which I think is the one that you have, looks like a Lemon Tang (Acanthurus sp.) which ranges from the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

It doesn't look too much like a Acanthurus olivaceus, for the fact that it doesn't have a black line left of its face. The one behind the Lemon Tang, looks like a Mimic Tang (Acanthurus pyroferus), for the fact that it has blue rings around its eyes.

Yeah, I noticed that. Just to be clear, I was talking about the two tangs in the upper right hand corner. The tang in front looks like a Lemon Tang, one in back looks like an Mimic Tang. I'm sure of that, from the pics above.

Looks like a Lemon Peel Angel to me also from the pic. Does it have like a purpleish ring around the eye.
